§ Mr. Blakerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list in the Official Report the aids which are currently given by the different member countries of the EEC to the glasshouse sector of the horticulture industry, showing separately fuel subsidies, direct and indirect grants for construction, loans with rate of interest, and other aids.
§ Mr. StrangIt would be impracticable to list in detail all the different forms of assistance available to glasshouse growers in EEC countries. Current usage of fuel oil is not being subsidised except in Belgium, where a subsidy of 30 centimes per litre—rather less than 1.5p per gallon—is being paid until 31st December 1975.
