§ Mr. Fryasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will ensure that whatever agreement is made by the European Economic Community on the temporary banning of agricultural produce and other food from eastern Europe, there will not be any political discrimination, particularly against Yugoslavia.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe food import ban agreed by the Community on 12 May has been applied to all those countries falling substantially within a radius of 1,000 km from Chernobyl, including Yugoslavia. The ban is a short-term precautionary measure which will be reviewed on 20 May on the basis of the latest scientific evidence which the relevant countries are being urged to provide as rapidly as possible. We have already asked that the next review should pay particular attention to the position of Yugoslavia.
