HC Deb 08 February 1979 vol 962 c262W
Mr. Body

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress has been made towards a common potato regime in the EEC.

Mr. Bishop

Discussions on the Commission proposals for a common potato regime have been in progress for three years, but there remain a number of questions on which agreement has yet to be reached. The United Kingdom continues to seek a cost-effective solution satisfactory to producers and consumers alike.
