HC Deb 19 May 1975 vol 892 c303W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in view of the proposals of EEC Commissioner Lardinois that member States should be authorised to give aid to their glasshouse growers during the period 1st July 1975 to 30th June 1976 to compensate for a third of the increase in energy costs since September 1973, he will now announce the British Government's intentions.

Mr. Strang

The authority referred to was one of several measures for the glasshouse industry which are being considered by member States. It would be premature to comment at this stage.
