§ 31. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many farmers in Ayrshire had applied for Government grants in Ayrshire up to 10th July; and how many had been granted.
§ Lord John HopeI regret that it is not possible to give this information. To do so would require the availability and examination of records covering all kinds of Government grants and all the years since these grants were first made.
§ Mr. HughesCan the Minister give us information about the small farmers? How much is coming to Ayrshire under the Small Farmers Assistance Scheme?
§ Lord John HopeIf the hon. Gentleman puts down a Question about that I will do my best to answer it.
