§ 86. Viscount Lambtonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in view of the effect on the United Kingdom agricultural industry of the new agricultural policy reached by the countries of the European Economic Community, he will make a statement on the Government's agricultural policy.
§ Mr. PeartThe main lines of the Government's agricultural policy are set out in the 1966 Annual Review White Paper (Cmnd. 2933), and in the White Papers on the Marketing of Meat and Livestock and the Development of Agriculture (Cmnd. 2737 and 2738) which are being put into effect by the Agriculture Bill now before Parliament. Recent developments in the European Economic Community have no immediate bearing on this policy.
