§ Mr. Moateasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent discussions he has had with the EEC and with the industry in connection with the sale of fresh turkeys; and if he will make a statement on the latest position.
§ Mr. StrangLengthy discussions preceded the decisions reached in Brussels last July and the industry was kept fully informed at all stages. Our proposals for regulations to implement the EEC directives are at present with representative organisations, as a basis for consultation. As to the latest position, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Moray and Nairn (Mrs. Ewing) on 13th January by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.—Vol. 903, c.111–2.]
