§ Sir W. Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will give a specific list of the various employments connected with agriculture which have been authorised to receive refunds under the Selective Employment Payments Act, 1966; and to what extent these refunds cover employees concerned with the feedingstuffs industry, artificial insemination and veterinary activities concerned with farm animals.
§ Mr. John MackieI regret that it would be expensive in time and labour to provide a specific list of all the activities connected with agriculture which have been accepted as falling within the requirements of Section 2(3)(e) of the Selective Employment Payments Act, 1966.
Establishments engaged in the manufacture of animal feedingstuffs are eligible for premium and those engaged in artificial insemination are eligible for refund. Certain veterinary services carried out under contract may also be eligible for refund.
