Abstract
The premises of the British government's proposed limited free trade area in Europe (Plan G) were contradicted by the 1947 Agriculture Act and by its simultaneous negotiations in 1956 with the National Farmers' Union over long-term assurances for British agriculture. These negotiations resulted in the 1957 Agriculture Act, which further reduced Britain's chances of concluding an agreement with Europe. The government's refusal to chose between conflicting interests, combined with the confusion attending the elaboration of the Plan, led it to deny Europe agricultural compensations for accepting Plan G.
