§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will cause a survey to be conducted by his Department into the availability of adequate capital or access to capital for those farmers in various regions of Great Britain who would find it necessary to change their methods of agriculture in the event of Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. PeartNo. The need for capital to finance adaptation would depend on the arrangements agreed for agriculture in an enlarged Community, and I doubt therefore whether it would be useful to conduct any such survey at this stage. I am of course well aware that adjustment to Common Market conditions would call for a substantial redeployment of resources.
