HC Deb 29 July 1974 vol 878 c61W
Mr. MacGregor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he will reach a decision on the meat promotion scheme submitted by the National Farmers' Union; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bishop

My right hon. Friend has informed the President of the National Farmers' Union that he is sympathetic to the objective of meat promotion, and has sent the union's proposals to the Meat and Livestock Commission for study and consideration so that the MLC may, if it wishes, submit a detailed levy scheme.
