HC Deb 27 March 1980 vol 981 cc650-1W
Mr. John Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take action to support the publicity drive being undertaken jointly by the Covent Garden Market Authority and the Covent Garden Market Tenants' Association.

Mr. Wiggin

Publicity at wholesale horticultural markets is a matter for the market authorities or the trade interests concerned. Since an increase in the business of one market could have repercussions on that of others, it would not be appropriate for my right hon. Friend to take action to support the publicity drive which is being undertaken jointly by the Covent Garden Market Authority and the Covent Garden Tenants' Association.
