HC Deb 21 March 1974 vol 870 cc138-9W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware of the announcement of a major supplier of its intention of withdrawing tractor vaporising oil from its list of products available to Cornish farmers with effect from 31st July 1974; and, in view of the effect of this decision on certain tractor owners, if he will open consultations designed to ensure that supplies are maintained in some acceptable form.

Mr. Buchan

I am aware that two of the four manufacturers of TVO in the United Kingdom have decided to cease production after July 1974. I understand that the two remaining manufacturers propose to increase their output to meet the demand for this fuel.
