§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether agricultural marketing boards such as the Milk Marketing Board, the Wool Board and the Egg and Potato Marketing Boards could be continued in their present form in the event of Great Britain entering the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. PeartThis would depend on the arrangements agreed for an enlarged Community. It is possible that not all the current activities of the Boards would be considered compatible with existing E.E.C. rules; but it would be unduly speculative to attempt any assessment on the basis of the present Community's policy towards marketing organisations, which has not yet taken final shape.
