HC Deb 17 April 1980 vol 982 c674W
24. Mr. Flannery

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the present situation regarding exports of lamb from the United Kingdom to France; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

The French Government are continuing their illegal restrictions on exports of lamb from the United Kingdom and a substantial levy is at present being charged. This defiance of a clear judgment of the European Court is undermining the fundamental principles of the Community.
