HC Deb 01 November 1979 vol 972 cc619-20W
57. Mr. Philip Holland

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many of the 35 official bodies concerned with the development and marketing of agricultural products to which he appoints members have become irrelevant as a result of the requirements of the common agricultural policy; and when such bodies will be wound up.

Mr. Peter Walker

The development and marketing of agricultural products are of undiminished importance to Britain in the context of the common agricultural policy. In common with other Ministers I am reviewing the future of all the public bodies for which I am responsible.
