HC Deb 19 December 1980 vol 996 cc327-8W
Mr. John Home Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a further statement on protection and support for the Scottish poultry industry, following the meeting between the Minister of State, Scottish Office and the hon. Members for Berwick and East Lothian and for Paisley (Mr. Adams) on 4 November.

Mr. Younger

There have been detailed discussions with the interests concerned, and the Government will continue to press, within the Community, for adequate support measures for Community producers and for uniform application in member States of poultry hygiene requirements and their associated costs.
