HC Deb 22 January 1958 vol 580 cc170-1W
63. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action has been taken by the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation about Recommendation 135 on forestry of the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

The Recommendation has been received in the Organisation and is under consideration there. A reply will be sent in due course to the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe.

64. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action has been taken by the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation on the question of the increased cost of fertilisers which was referred to the Organisation by the Council of Europe.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

It was originally intended to discuss this recommendation at a meeting of the Committee of Deputies of the Ministers of Agriculture and Food of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation on 14th October. But, because the representatives from the Agricultural Committee of the Consultative Assembly who were to explain the recommendation were unable to attend the meeting, discussion had to be postponed until a later meeting on 10th December. The matter will be further considered at the next meeting of the Deputies of Ministers of Agriculture.
