§ Sir Michael NeubertTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what measures she intends to take concerning the promotion of British apples.
§ Mr. JackMy ministerial colleaguess and I have been pleased to participate in a number of recent events to promote English apples. On 19 October, I attended the launch of the 1993 main apple season. On Apple Day itself, the Minister was presented with an apple pie and the Parliamentary Secretary in the Commons attended Food From Britain's launch of "Great Food From Britain". On 27 October, the Minister visited the Marden fruit show. In addition, I recently announced my horticultural marketing initiative, one of the key aims of which will be to stimulate United Kingdom consumption of United Kingdom produce—including apples.
