HC Deb 20 October 1988 vol 138 cc1010-1W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has any plans to review the operation of the sheepmeat regime; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Donald Thompson

The sheepmeat regime is due to be reviewed by the Council of Agriculture Ministers later this year. I expect negotiations on this review to resume shortly on the basis of proposals by the EC Commission.
