§ 24. Mr. Cockeramasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress has been made in eliminating unfair French competition practices that are damaging the United Kingdom turkey industry.
§ 26. Sir David Priceasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further proposals he has to ensure the survival of the British poultry industry.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithWe are concerned that United Kingdom producers and processors can compete on reasonable terms with those in other countries. We are consequently pressing for the harmonisation of the Community's hygiene inspection arrangements and for action by the Commission in relation to various aids to production and processing in France. We are also considering what other action might be appropriate.
