§ Dr. StrangTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will set out his reasons for excluding from the common agricultural policy review group a representative of consumer interests. [19615]
§ Mr. WaldegraveIn deciding upon whom to invite to become members of the CAP policy group, I chose people who would make their contributions according to their own individual ideas rather than as representatives of particular organisations or sectors. I am always concerned to have a consumer view on the CAP, and have already made this the main agenda item for my next meeting with consumer organisations on 13 June.
