asked the Lord Privy Seal when he expects to receive from the European Economic Community the final text of the agreement between member countries on agricultural policy; and if he will decline to proceed further with British negotiations on agricultural policy until he has received the full and final text of the European Economic Community agreement.

I do not yet know the date when these documents will be made available. As regards the second part of the Question, our negotiations in Brussels have not been hampered by the lack of a final text of the regulations in question.
