HC Deb 09 June 1969 vol 784 c200W
Mrs. Knight

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will seek powers to enable him to make grants to fish merchants, similar to those available for fruit and vegetable merchants, and to control the rents charged to fish merchants for premises in reconstructed municipal markets.

Mr. Hoy

No. The horticultural and fishing industries are supported in ways appropriate to the circumstances of each industry. It does not follow that the forms of assistance given to one should necessarily be given to the other.
