HC Deb 21 November 1979 vol 974 cc216-7W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will have discussions with the Scottish president of the National Farmers Union with a view to arranging a trade mission and advisory service to underdeveloped countries which could gain from the expertise of Scottish agriculture.

Mr. Ridley

I am very ready to arrange for officials to discuss with the Scottish president of the NFU any matters relevant to the provision of advice to the developing countries under the aid programme.

Questions about trade missions are for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade.
