HC Deb 29 March 1963 vol 674 c194W
Mr. Clive Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what the rates of grant will be for the Grassland Renovation Scheme; and when they will come into effect.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

As soon as the Agriculture (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill becomes law, it is hoped to lay before Parliament a scheme providing for grant at the rate of £4 per acre. As stated in the recent Annual Review White Paper (Cmnd. 1968) it is intended that the scheme shall come into operation next autumn.
