HC Deb 03 July 1975 vol 894 c511W
38. Mrs. Wise

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether Her Majesty's Government will oppose the imposition of the common agricultural policy on mutton and lamb.

Mr. Bishop

Our attitude will depend on the nature of any proposals, and none have yet been made. We have made it clear that the United Kingdom could not accept a common market regime for sheep meat unless it provided satisfactorily for the interests of our producers and consumers, and for imports of New Zealand lamb.
