HL Deb 25 July 1979 vol 401 c2031WA
Lord O'HAGAN

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will request the Central Policy Review Staff to study the long-term consequences of increased oil prices for high technology agriculture in the United Kingdom, and to publish their report.

Lord SOAMES

Her Majesty's Government are keeping under review the implications of increased oil prices for all sections of the economy, including agriculture. They have noted the noble Lord's suggestion but believe present arrangements for study are adequate.
