HC Deb 15 May 1980 vol 984 c625W
36. Mr. Renton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will hold bilateral discussions with the French Minister of Agriculture in order to facilitate settlements at the European Council.

Mr. Peter Walker

I have frequent contact with the French Minister of Agriculture in Brussels and have recently visited Paris for bilateral discussions. I shall suggest further bilateral meetings whenever I think these would be helpful.
