§ Sir David SteelTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if she will make a statement on the future of the British wool marketing scheme.
§ Mr. JackThe Government believe that the British wool marketing scheme continues to operate in the interests of producers, consumers and the industry and consequently are not planning to abolish it. The British Wool Marketing Board is currently considering amendments to the operation of scheme following the ending of the wool guarantee. These amendments will have to be approved by producers before the Government can arrange for their enactment in secondary legislation.
