HC Deb 17 March 1983 vol 39 c253W
31. Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further help he can offer glasshouse growers to contain their costs of production.

Mr. Peter Walker

The United Kingdom glasshouse industry is given substantial Government support, including the temporary adaptation aid on costs of glasshouse heating oil to the maximum permitted under European Commission guidelines. I am in close and continuing touch with growers on ways of helping them.
