HC Deb 13 April 1965 vol 710 c171W
56. Mr. John Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to help the producers of home-grown cucumbers.

Mr. Hoy

The Government already help cucumber producers, like other horticulturists, by providing grant-aid and credit backing for technical improvements likely to increase the competitiveness of their businesses, especially by helping them to reduce the costs of production. Technical advice is freely available from the National Agricultural Advisory Service.
