HC Deb 20 October 1988 vol 138 cc1006-7W
57. Mr. Alan W. Williams

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he takes to ensure that consumer and environmental interests are taken into account in decisions concerning the common agricultural policy.

Mr. Ryder

I receive advice and representations from many sources, including bodies representative of consumers and of environmental interests. I take these fully into account when decisions are being taken on CAP matters and, as appropriate, urge the Commission and other member states to do the same.
