§ Mr. Hastingsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he will take to alleviate the rising costs of production in the horticultural industry.
§ Mr. PeartThe horticultural industry has not been alone in recent years in facing rising costs of production. This is a situation which the Government has inherited and our general policy is directed towards bringing costs and prices under control. I hope that growers will take full advantage of the many forms of financial assistance and technical advice available to them.
