Cauliflower Grading

HC Deb 19 January 1968 vol 756 cc686-7W

Mr. John Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in view of the need to reduce public expenditure, he will delay the introduction of cauliflower grading.

Mr. Hoy:

No. If the introduction of cauliflower grading were delayed, the saving in public expenditure would be virtually nil in 1968–69 and from 1969–70 onward it would be so small as not to justify postponing a measure of such value to the industry.
