§ Mr. Molyneauxasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will consider widening the definition of land eligible for assistance under the Hill Farm Act, 1953, so as to include areas of Drumlin-type hillocks rising over 300 feet where the soil is unsuitable for cropping.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartNo. The hill farming grants are intended to give special 97W assistance to the recognised areas of mountains, hills or heath, and it would not be appropriate to extend them to poor land in other parts of the country.
