§ 21. Mr. Brocklebank-Fowlerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take action designed to secure the amendment of the regulations controlling the sale of apples in the European Economic Community, to take account of the requirements of British producers of culinary apples.
§ Mr. GodberYes, this is one of the matters we shall be discussing further with the Commission. Finding a solution may take some time but meanwhile growers will continue to find a market for Bramleys even though they have to pay regard to the requirements of the particular classes.
§ 59. Mr. Scott-Hopkinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects a conclusion to the negotiations with the European Economic Community on compensatory payments for poultry and meat; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GodberDiscussions about compensatory amounts are now in progress with a view to reaching agreements as soon as possible. It is difficult to give a precise forecast at this stage.
