HC Deb 08 May 1961 vol 640 c10W
70. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information his Department has supplied to Members of Parliament on the economic consequences to the agricultural community of this country's entry into the Common Market.

Mr. Soames

None. If we were to enter the Common Market the economic consequences for agriculture would depend on the terms on which we entered and on the provisions of the common agricultural policy of the European Economic Community, which have not yet been worked out.
