HC Deb 23 October 1975 vol 898 cc222-3W
16. Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the achievement to date of the aims of the White Paper "Food from our own Resources".

Mr. Strang

The White Paper laid down a strategy for agriculture, and agricultural policy into the 1980s. Despite setbacks, that strategy remains valid, and provided the basis for the action which my right hon. Friend announced last week as well as for the other measures we have taken in recent months. I hope that we shall soon begin to see more encouraging trends in the industry.
