HC Deb 21 May 1981 vol 5 cc131-2W
30. Mr. Allan Stewart

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with the prospect for the horticulture industry.

Mr. Wiggin

The prospects for the horticulture industry are dependent on many factors, some of which, including the weather, are outside its control. Apart from these uncertainties, and provided that horticulturists keep abreast of the latest technology and gear their production and presentation to the needs of the market, the horticulture industry should have a healthy future. The Government will continue to play their part in seeking the right trading conditions within which the industry can operate.
