§ Mr. McNamaraTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what the response was to the consultation on non-food crops launched by his Department on 7 April. [132014]
§ Ms QuinThirty-seven replies were received to this consultation, and I have arranged for copies to be placed in the Libraries of the House, and also to be made available for public inspection in the Ministry library at Whitehall Place. The proposal for a Government-industry forum on non-food crops was widely welcomed. My Department is now studying the responses in detail and considering how to put the proposals into effect.
