§ 34. Sir Peter Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is planning to assist the export of British farm products to Spain and Portugal after their entry into the European Economic Community.
§ Mrs. FennerMy right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food intends to visit these two countries at an early opportunity when trade will be among the subjects he hopes to discuss. After entry, their markets will become progressively more open to United Kingdom produce during a transitional period. We are confident that our exporters will be in a position to take advantage of the new opportunities with help from Food from Britain and the British Agricultural Export Council and the British Overseas Trade Board's services.
