HC Deb 19 April 1973 vol 855 c171W
Mr. Kinsey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether any decision has been reached on the proposal by the European Economic Commission to suspend the common tariff on new potatoes until 1st May; and, if so, whether the United Kingdom Government will take corresponding action.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Yes. The common external tariff on new potatoes has been suspended until 1st May, and we have taken corresponding action to suspend our own small tariff of £1 per ton until the same date.
