HC Deb 04 February 1975 vol 885 c467W
Mr. Adam Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he intends to continue beyond the end of March the special milk premium for voluntary brucellosis eradication schemes.

Mr. Strang

The milk incentives, which are paid to dairy herd owners who achieve accreditation under the rules of the voluntary Brucellosis Incentives Scheme, continue for a period of five years from the date of accreditation or until 31st March 1976, whichever is the later. I have no proposals for discontinuing these payments after the end of March 1975.
