HC Deb 25 March 1982 vol 20 c397W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether the figure for the average trade weighted reduction in the European Economic Community tariff quoted in paragraph 15 of the White Paper on the "Multilateral Trade Negotiations 1973 to 1979"—Cmnd. 7724—would be reduced if agricultural products were excluded; and whether he will give revised figures for the European Economic Community excluding such products.

Mr. Peter Rees

The figure for the average trade weighted reduction in the European Economic Community tariff quoted in paragraph 15 of the White Paper on the multilateral trade negotiations 1973–1979 (Cmnd. 7724) relates to industrial products only, as paragraphs 10 to 22 deal with industrial tariffs, and paragraphs 23 to 28 with agriculture.
