HC Deb 17 April 1957 vol 568 c211W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give some guidance on the possibility of organising a mutual insurance scheme to insure hop-growers against loss through damage by hail or other exceptional weather conditions.

Mr. Godber

It would be a matter for the industry itself to organise a scheme of this kind, and my right hon. Friend understands that the Hops Marketing Board is considering its possibilities.
