Vol. 495 No. 7
249 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will clarify the situation regarding the 20 per cent milk quota clawback in relation to the exemption categories for relatives; if this will include in-laws; and if he will extend the exemption to cover cases similar to a person (details supplied) in County Wexford. [21207/98]
The position regarding the clawback on milk quotas is that it does not apply to transactions as a result of inheritance and it does not apply to transactions involving a family member. Family members are defined in this context as grandparent, parent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, nephew, niece, husband or wife.
I have asked the milk quota review group to review all aspects of the operation of the milk quota regime in Ireland, including the clawback arrangement.
