HC Deb 28 February 1980 vol 979 cc684-5W
Mr. Moate

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has received the report of the apple and pear industry of the top fruit working group; if he will make a statement; and what consideration will, in particular, be given to the conclusions contained in paragraph 3, sections (a), (b) and (c) of that report.

Mr. Peter Walker

The top fruit working group presented its report to me on 26 February, in conjunction with the industry itself. I shall be considering urgently how its performance can be improved.
