§ Mr. Martenasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals the Government are putting 339W forward for world commodity agreements in dairy products.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartThe Government consider that the GATT provides the best forum for securing progress towards world commodity agreements for milk products, and they will continue to work for such agreements in that forum. The United Kingdom is a member of the GATT agreement on dairy products, which at present covers skimmed milk powder. As members of the European Economic Community we are now participating with other countries concerned, notably New Zealand and Australia, in GATT discussions aimed at extending the GATT arrangements to cover certain types of butter fat.
