§ Sir Bernard Braineasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether any approach has yet been made to the European Community's Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund for a grant for any proposed food waste recycling scheme; and, if so, with what result.
§ Mr. StrangI have been asked to reply.
No project concerned with food waste recycling has been put to my Ministry for possible submission to the Community. A number of projects which have included the processing of animal and cereal by-products for animal feedingstuffs have, however, been grant-aided from this fund.
