§ Mr. Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is currently taking to ensure adequate supplies of petrol and diesel oil for agricultural operations.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI am concerned about the implications of the fuel shortage for agriculture. I am keeping in close touch with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy, whose Department has contacted the oil companies with regard to particular cases of difficulty that we have raised with them. Specific and urgent problems in Wales should be referred to the Welsh Office Agriculture Department, which will do all it can to help.
