Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the Ornamental Horticulture Roundtable Group report, Growing a Green Economy: The importance of ornamental horticulture and landscaping to the UK, and accompanying action plan, Unlocking Green Growth: A plan for the ornamental horticulture and landscaping industry.
Answered by Baroness Prentis of Banbury
Defra recognises the crucial role that the domestic ornamental horticulture industry plays in both promoting people’s well-being and to the economy. The Ornamental Horticulture Roundtable Group (OHRG) report identifies how barriers to the sector’s growth can be unlocked through a collaborative approach between Government and industry. This collaboration reflects our shared ambition for a truly vibrant and sustainable ornamental sector. We are working with the OHRG and the sector to build on current good work already happening within the industry, and will ensure that where the Government can help, it will support the opportunities outlined in the report and its associated action plan.
