§ 104. Mr. Hastingsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the rise in 288W production costs to the glasshouse industry during the years 1965 to 1966.
§ Mr. HoyI am afraid no estimate is available. Our recent examination of the horticultural industry, of which a record was published last March, brought out the absence of reliable data for the industry, including its glasshouse sector, and the difficulty of securing nationally representative figures for an industry which is so diverse in its products and growing methods.
