§ 37. Mr. Home Robertsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he intends to publish a White Paper on agriculture during the current Session of Parliament; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. JoplingThe annual review of agriculture is taking place as usual and I expect to publish the resulting White Paper early next year. I have made several statements in speeches and debates in recent months about the future of agriculture. In this way the agriculture industry is kept informed of developments in the Government's thinking, but I keep in mind all possible means of promoting and explaining our policy.
