HC Deb 29 November 1973 vol 865 c202W
Mr. John Wells

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he is taking designed to ensure that horticultural growers whose production depends on a constant supply of fuel oil for heating greenhouses obtain it.

Mr. Tom Boardman

My Department, with assistance from the oil industry, is arranging matters so that suppliers will be better able to deliver oil to consumers against their allocations.

Mr. R. C. Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in the interests of fuel economy, he will, as a temporary measure, impose restrictions on the activities of private flying clubs.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The activities of private flying clubs are already subject to the cuts in fuel supply announced in the House on 19th November. I hope all of these restrictions will be temporary.—[Vol. 864, col. 948–55.]
