§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on his promotion of the British horticultural industry during the United Kingdom Presidency of the EC.
§ Mr. CurryWe promoted our horticultural industry during the United Kingdom presidency as vigorously as ever, especially during the informal agricultural council in Cambridge. The British horticulture industry will also directly benefit from Community measures adopted under the United Kingdom presidency including the single market arrangements for plant health, bee health and the fruit and vegetable regime and the extension of the hops conversion aid scheme. In addition, the sector will have the advantage of the whole range of measures on the single market adopted during the United Kingdom presidency.
