HC Deb 11 February 1971 vol 811 c258W
Mr. Marten

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what extent and in which commodities he estimates the United Kingdom will provide a substantial market for the agriculture exports of the Common Market countries if it joins.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

An increase can be expected in the receipts of other members of an enlarged Community from their agricultural exports to the United Kingdom, partly as a result of the higher prices to which we shall be moving. The enlarged Community will include Denmark and the Irish Republic, for whose agricultural exports we already provide a substantial market. It is not possible to give precise estimates of the changes for individual commodities.
