HC Deb 05 March 1990 vol 168 cc493-4W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has any plans to put forward proposals at the next European Council of Agriculture Ministers, on 5 and 6 March in Brussels, on initiatives that may be taken in the agriculture sector to mitigate the global warming greenhouse effect.

Mr. Gummer

The Agriculture Council on 5–6 March will concentrate on the Commission's farm price proposals. I shall ensure that the issue of global warming is taken into account in the United Kingdom's position in so far as it relates to matters on the Council agenda.
