HC Deb 01 April 1982 vol 21 c173W
35. Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has proposals to ensure continued support for United Kingdom livestock producers in the eventuality of no timeous agreement being reached in Brussels.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Interim arrangements in the event that the Council of Ministers fail to reach agreement before the start of the new marketing years will be for the Council to decide. The Council's normal practice has been to extend the marketing years.
