§ Mr. Kelleyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what requests he has had from fruit farmers for premiums in respect of the destruction of fruit trees in accordance with EEC Regulation 2517/69; and if he will state in£ sterling the amount, if any, involved.
§ Mrs. FennerNone. United Kingdom growers are not eligible for these premiums since the EEC scheme was closed to applications before the date on which the Community's common agricultural policy took effect in the United Kingdom.
