HC Deb 23 October 1975 vol 898 c223W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food from which bodies representing agriculture he has had representations recently concerning the problems facing the agriculture industry.

Mr. Bishop

A wide range of bodies concerned with agriculture including producers, workers, consumers, processors and agricultural trade organisations have expressed views to my right hon. Friend recently about the state of the industry. A number of meetings have been held with representatives of the industry over the last few months at both ministerial and official level. We consider it important to keep in close and continuing touch with all sections of the industry.
