HC Deb 19 April 1967 vol 745 c100W
95. Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish a White Paper setting out the differences between farm support policies in Great Britain and those in the Common Market; and what advantages and disadvantages he estimates would be incurred by domestic producers of cereals, roots, livestock and livestock products, arboricultural and horticultural products, and by consumers, if Great Britain were to accept the Common Agricultural Policy.

Mr. Peart

The differences between farm support policies in the Common Market and this country, and—so far as they can be judged—the main advantages and disadvantages to British producers and consumers of accepting the common agricultural policy as it now stands, are already described in a memorandum submitted by my Department to the Select Committee on Agriculture. This has been printed by Order of the House in the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Select Committee on 15th March, and is available to the public in that form.
