HC Deb 24 April 1985 vol 77 c474W
Mr. Iain Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received about the implications of the level of wage increases proposed by the horticultural section of the Agricultural Wages Council on the viability of small horticultural operators.

Mrs. Fenner

I received six letters from the horticultural sector, objecting to the increase in minimum wages set by the Agricultural Wages Board to take effect from 2 June 1985.
