HC Deb 04 December 1980 vol 995 c177W
29. Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to counter the European Economic Community Commission's rejection of the United Kingdom Government's ban on liquid milk imports on health grounds.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The United Kingdom Government are currently considering their response to the reasoned opinion on this subject which the Commission delivered recently under the procedures laid down in article 169 of the Treaty. It will then be for the Commission to decide whether to pursue the matter further.
