HC Deb 13 November 1973 vol 864 c132W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his policy towards the principles, mechanisms and price levels to be implemented in any EEC regulation on the importation and marketing of sheepmeat.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

There is of course no regulation for sheepmeat at present. In any discussion of the issues raised by the Commission in its recent proposals, the Government's policy will continue to be one of safeguarding our interests as the major producer, consumer and importer of mutton and lamb in the Community.
