HC Deb 02 November 1987 vol 121 cc539-40W
Mr. Nelson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will provide assistance in addition to existing grant schemes for glass-house growers who have suffered storm damage during the night of 15 and 16 October.

Mr. MacGregor

[holding answer, 29 October 1987]While I sympathise with growers whose glass-houses have suffered storm damage, these are insurable structures. Many growers will have insured and, as the Prime Minister has already said, there is no way we can make equal those who are not insured with those who are.
