Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 3:31 pm on 20th February 1992.

When I was Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, I endeavoured to get that policy changed substantially. The supplementary estimates were passed in accordance with the procedures of the House, following a debate. That is why they were accepted.
