§ Mr. Jacksonasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consult the representatives of the horticultural industry before removing those parts of the Horticultural Cropping Order which deal with glass-houses.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsYes, Sir. The usual consultations with representatives of the horticultural industry will take place before a final decision on this matter is reached.
§ Mr. Jacksonasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will take steps to have the certification scheme for stocks of strawberries, Norfolk giant raspberries and blackcurrants, which will have lapsed under the altered Horticultural Cropping Order, reintroduced as early as possible, as these schemes have the support and approval of the horticultural industry.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsThe schemes in question are not affected by the recent amendment of the Horticultural Cropping Order.
