HC Deb 19 May 1965 vol 712 c224W
57. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give an assurance that the policy of Her Majesty's Government is that British agriculture should continue to supply an increasing percentage of the home market; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peart

The Government's policy is designed to help farmers to improve their competitive efficiency in production, in marketing and in meeting consumer demand and, provided that they can become more competitive with other suppliers, our farmers will have the opportunity of increasing their share of our growing market.
