§ Mr. Bakerasked the Minister of Agriculture when he proposes to announce new measures for the protection of the horticultural industry.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftI have been asked to reply. I assume that my hon. Friend is referring to applications which have been received from the producers' associations for increased protective duties on the main classes of horticultural produce. These applications, together with representations submitted by other interested organisations, are now under examination.
