§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will raise at the next meeting of the management committee the question of seeking an assurance from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that the subsidised food provided from European Economic Community stockpiles is not used for military purposes; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gummer[pursuant to his reply, 16 December 1986, c. 529]: No. Management Committees consider Commission proposals for sales of CAP commodities to be made on terms which are competitive with those being offered by other sellers on the world market. It is already the United Kingdom's policy to oppose any proposed sales which are targeted on one particular country in such a way as to give that country preferential treatment of any kind.
