§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will speed up the formulation of the horticultural grants scheme for the benefit of that industry.
§ Mr. John HareAs I explained in the reply I gave my hon. Friend on 8th April, the formulation of a grant scheme for a complex industry like horticulture inevitably takes time. My officers together with producers' representatives are treating this as a matter of urgency, and my hon. Friend may rest assured that there will be no avoidable delay.
