HC Deb 05 March 1975 vol 887 c412W
Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy that, in the event of Holland continuing to provide some form of oil subsidy to its horticulturists beyond June, he will reconsider his decision to abolish the oil subsidy for horticulturists.

Mr. Strang

The EEC Commission's guidelines on temporary fuel oil subsidies permit payments by member States only until 30th June 1975.
