HC Deb 10 July 1979 vol 970 c144W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will accord to horticulturists in the United Kingdom the same concessions on fuel at present granted to tomato growers in the Netherlands.

Mr. Wiggin

I have been asked to reply.

Circumstances in the two countries are not the same and the concessions and aids available to Dutch and United Kingdom growers are not readily comparable. I have no evidence that growers in the Netherlands receive an unfair competitive advantage.
