HL Deb 11 November 2003 vol 654 c173WA
Baroness Rawlings

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will clarify the statement by the Baroness Amos on 13 October (Official Report, col. 697) that the meeting of the Committee on Agriculture did take place and they were present. [HL5174]

Baroness Amos

A special session of the WTO Committee on Agriculture was due to take place between 6 and 10 October, but was in fact cancelled just a few days previously.

I wrote to the noble Baroness on 17 October 2003 clarifying this point; and copied my letter to those who participated in the debate, and to the Library of the House.

I am grateful to the noble Baroness for giving me the opportunity to put the record straight.
