HC Deb 13 December 1991 vol 200 cc592-3W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans there are to change the regime for potatoes in both the EC and the United Kingdom; what stage the proposed changes have reached; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

I understand that European Commission officials are working on a proposal for a regime for potatoes to come forward early in 1992. I will await these developments in Brussels before taking up a position on the future of our domestic arrangements.
