HC Deb 26 February 1976 vol 906 cc295-6W
32. Mr. Body

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to make sure that all farmers in the United Kingdom are receiving an equal chance to claim grants for capital projects from the Agricultural Fund of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Bishop

Capital projects on farms generally fall within the scope of the Community's farm modernisation directive and are not eligible for aid under the individual capital projects scheme. I am satisfied that adequate steps have been taken to publicise the arrangements under which applications may be made to the EEC Agricultural Fund for grants for individual capital projects.
