HC Deb 23 June 1980 vol 987 cc11-2W

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what recent consultations he has held in the context of energy supplies to glasshouse producers about energy prices and supplies; and if he is prepared to meet representatives of the National Farmers Union to discuss the results of such consultations.
