HC Deb 07 June 1984 vol 61 cc265-6W
Mr. Wareing

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards the proposals of the general agreement on tariffs and trade to bring trade in agricultural products within its rules.

Mr. MacGregor

The United Kingdom subscribed to the declaration by the contracting parties to the general agreement, in November 1982, which called for a two-year work programme designed to bring agriculture more fully within the multilateral trading system by improving the effectiveness of the rules, provisions and disciplines of the general agreement and through their common interpretation. The Government hope for a successful outcome of the current discussions on this issue.
