asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the achievement to date of the Government's policy objectives for agriculture, as set out in the White Paper "Food from Our Own Resources".

45. Mr. Corbett

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied with progress towards the objectives of "Food from Our Own Resources" and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Strang

The White Paper "Food from Our Own Resources" set out a strategy for agriculture into the 1980s and included an assessment of where expansion could bring most benefit. The decisions which my right hon. Friend announced on 8th March, together with the improvements in agricultural support introduced last year, were designed to make resources available in accordance with this strategy.
