HC Deb 01 December 1977 vol 940 c413W
27. Mr. Brooke

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with the progress being made towards eliminating intra-Community barriers to trade in manufactured food and drink.

Mr. John Silkin

All tariff barriers on manufactured food and drink will be eliminated when the transition period is completed at the end of the year. Some non-tariff barriers will remain, and I would welcome a speedier elimination of these.
