HC Deb 03 May 1967 vol 746 c63W
39. Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he has taken to ascertain whether hill farm subsidies and grants will be payable in this country in the event of Britain being admitted to membership of the Common Market; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peart

The E.E.C. has still to decide on the criteria for judging which State aids to agriculture should or should not be regarded as compatible with the Common Market.
