§ 38. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has now received representations from all the organisations representing the interests affected by the Report of the Committee on Transactions in Seeds; and if he win make a statement.
§ Mr. John HareNot yet, Sir, but I have again asked the organisations which have not sent in their views to let me have them as soon as they can. These and the views of the other bodies concerned will have to be carefully considered before any conclusions are reached.
§ Mr. WilleyWill the right hon. Gentleman continue to expedite his consideration of the matter, or, alternatively, go ahead without waiting for these representations, because we cannot be held up indefinitely by these interests?
§ Mr. HareI always thought that the hon. Gentleman believed in consultation with industry. I can assure him that I accept what he said and that I shall not allow any grass to grow under my feet.
