HC Deb 16 June 1971 vol 819 c104W
Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, with reference to Resolution No. 480 on the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies which was adopted by the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe on 27th January, 1971, whether Her Majesty's Government will collaborate in one form or another in the activities of the centre.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Her Majesty's Government are already indirectly associated with the Centre by virtue of the United Kingdom's membership of the Council of Europe and the Organisation for European Co-operation and Development. I will examine the case for more active participation and write to the hon. Member in due course.
