HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 cc83-4W
28. Mr. Body

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further measures he will take to improve the efficiency of the horticultural industry.

Mr. Prior

I have already introduced an improved Horticulture Improvement Scheme and am considering a possible increase in the rate of orchard grubbing grant. But it is for the individual members of the industry to decide what measures each of them can best take to improve his own efficiency.
