§ 106. Mr. Kenneth Clarkeasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, following Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community, he will submit proposals for a sheep-meat regulation to the European Economic Community with a view to 273W obtaining a low market price for lamb and mutton so that New Zealand can obtain a larger share of the growing market for meat in the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartMy right hon. Friend has no present plans to propose a sheep-meat regulation to an enlarged European Economic Community. The common element in the Community's present arrangements for sheep-meat is a common external tariff of 20 per cent. Both we and the New Zealand Government consider that an acceptable volume of trade in New Zealand lamb will continue to flow over such a tariff.
