HC Deb 22 March 1967 vol 743 cc260-1W
63. Mr. Manuel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the effects on Scottish agriculture of adherence by Great Britain to the common agricultural policy of the European Economic Community; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

Any generalisation about the overall effect on Scottish agriculture would be misleading in view of the wide variations in types of farming and the differing consequences which the Community's arrangements might have for these.
