§ Mr. Robert Cookeasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will collect evidence of the possible effects upon the transport and marketing of West Country agricultural products of the absence of a railhead in the new Covent Garden Market situated either side of the Weymouth-Waterloo main line.
§ Mrs. FennerAs my right hon. Friend the Minister for Transport Industries said in his reply to the hon. Member for Portsmouth, West (Mr. Judd) on 16th October 1973—[Vol. 861. c.63]—the provision of a railhead in the new Covent Garden Market is a matter for the Covent Garden Market Authority with British Rail. They are considering with the Greater London Council and the Government Departments concerned all the relevant factors. I shall be glad to ensure that any additional relevant evidence which is sent to me is included in this consideration.
