24. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will propose to the Council of Ministers of the EEC the abandonment of import levies on foodstuffs imported into the Community.

26. Mr. Ashton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in the interests of price stability in the United Kingdom, he will propose to the Council of Ministers of the EEC the abandonment of all import restrictions on foodstuffs as long as world shortage of cereals continues.

Mr. Godber

Such a proposal would be contrary to the terms of the common agricultural policy which we have accepted.
