HC Deb 12 February 1976 vol 905 c300W
Mr. Buchan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why he has agreed to allow decisions about the Commission's price proposals for 1976–77 which have to come into effect on 1st March to be delayed until the Council meeting on 23rd–24th February 1976.

Mr. Bishop

Important issues are involved in the negotiations on the Commission's price proposals. It is right that the Council should allow adequate time for these issues to be properly considered.
