HC Deb 30 June 1977 vol 934 c330W
35. Mr. Gould

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what arrangements are proposed to protect access to the British market for New Zealand dairy products.

Mr. Bishop

Agreement was reached by the Council of Ministers in June last year on the importation of New Zealand butter into the United Kingdom for the next three years. Subsequent arrangements are yet to be made on the basis of Protocol 18 of the Treaty of Accession.

As regards cheese, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Hereford (Mr. Shepherd) on 7th March.—[Vol. 927, c. 408.]
