HC Deb 28 January 1993 vol 217 cc828-9W
1. Mr. Spearing

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimates he has made of the effects on British agriculture of the agreements so far reached in GATT.

Mr. Gummer

The agreement reached between EC and US negotiators last November takes full account of the common agricultural policy reforms agreed last May. A GATT deal based on that agreement would assure the future of the CAP support arrangements.

Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will place in the Library a detailed analysis of the effect of the GATT agreement on each sector of agriculture.

Mr. Curry

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave the hon. Member for Northampton, North (Mr. Marlow) on 30 November 1992 (Official Report, column 59). The Commission's paper has since been deposited in the Library of the House.
