§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has in reserve to safeguard farm grant applications and subsidy payments if the threatened industrial action by agricultural civil servants takes place at his Department's Guildford centre.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerIt is not the Government's practice to disclose contingency plans for countering the effects of industrial action. I am, however, not aware of any specific threat of such action by the staff of my Department's Guildford centre and I very much hope that the situation will not arise.
