Ivan Yates
Question:160 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will clarify the criteria being used in the calculation of eligibility for compensation for fruit and vegetable growers for crop damage in 1993 in view of weather conditions; if he will ensure that the 25 per cent threshold for losses will apply not to the entire farm holding of the growers, but to their horticultural or fruit operations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
