Levingtons have responded. They doubt it is hormone chemical damage. Instead they are suggesting that I have over watered and need to be aware the grow bags contain more forest bark now due to less peat so retain water differently. They have also suggested that temperature fluctuations caused the leaf curling. To make sure I am watering correctly they suggested I tested the compost dampness by poking my finger into it! They have offered me a garden voucher to compensate for the problems I have had.
I am not convinced that watering is the issue and await a repose from the other link.
The lower trusses are beginning to fruit but the top trusses are fruiting but the fruit is very small and pointed. Cucumber continues to fruit as normal and other tomatoes not in the grow bag are normal.
I haven't had a reply from HB. One of my neighbour, who is a gardener with lots of experience, told me that the damage is due to weedkiller in the compost. The proof is that the tomato plants that were potted on the same day from the same bag of compost has this curling, whereas the ones from the same lot which were potted a week earlier with a different bag of compost are just normal.

If you look on Charles Dowding web site he has been having trouble with the stable manure that he has been getting because they have been using certain sprays, he has even wrote a article in Gardeners World and complained to certain suppliers without any real success.
