European Community (Business)

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 26 November 1975.

Alert me about debates like this

Mr. Mark Hughes:

I ask my right hon. Friend to take seriously the matter raised by the hon. Member for Aberdeenshire, East (Mr. Henderson) about the fisheries policy. The Commissioner for Agriculture at the European Assembly promised that proposals would be forthcoming at the end of the month. That date is long past, and delay in decisions can lead to bad decisions. Will my right hon. Friend please press for this matter to be raised in the Council of Ministers? May I also ask that the subject of the sheep meat trade, which has serious consequences for New Zealand, Ulster and consumers in this country, should be raised at the earliest opportunity?
