HC Deb 17 February 1992 vol 204 c26W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish his list of every requirement that the Ministry or the European Community places on farmers.

Mr. Gummer

The list is a working document and not intended for official publication. I have arranged for a copy to be made available in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament.

Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the organisations with which he is having discussions about the regulations and licences imposed on farmers by his Ministry or the European Community; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

I am currently having discussions with the National Farmers Union about the regulations and licences imposed on farmers by my Department or the European Community. I am also having discussions with national organisations representing agricultural producers who are subject to these legislative requirements.
