§ 60. Mr. DykesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on his response to recent representations by the British Wine Producers' spokesmen on product description usage for British sherry and related matters.
§ Mr. Donald ThompsonArticle 129 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal to the European Communities authorises the use of the description "British Sherry" until 1995 when the matter will be reviewed by the Council of Ministers. This is a clear provision, welcomed by the British wine industry and one which the Government continue fully to support.
