§ Mr. Gwynoro Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it a condition of the United Kingdom's accession to the European Economic Community that the existing voluntary consultations 155W between the European Economic Community's Commission and representative farm organisations will be made mandatory.
§ Mr. Anthony RoyleNo. If we join the Communities we will participate in consultation at Community level on the Community's reviews of agriculture. The Commission's review procedure will include contacts with agricultural organisations. These arrangements will secure effective contacts with producers. We will of course be free to continue our own Annual Agricultural Review.
