HL Deb 16 July 1992 vol 539 c49WA
Lord Judd

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, during the United Kingdom presi-dency of the Council of Ministers, they will press for further reform of the common agricultural policy to phase out subsidies and the subsidised disposal of surpluses on world markets.

Earl Howe

The recent agreement on reform of the CAP will lead to significant reductions in the level of agricultural support in the European Community. The Government will continue to press, in the Uruguay Round negotiations on trade liberalisation, for agricultural support to be reduced on a world wide basis.
