HC Deb 17 April 1980 vol 982 c720W
Mr. Freud

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish in the Official Report the level of Government loans to agriculturalists and horticulturalists currently made in each of the EEC member countries.

Mr. Wiggin

At 31 March 1979, the latest available date for which information has been published, outstanding Government loans to agriculturalists and horticulturalists in the United Kingdom were as follows:

£
Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food 502,845
Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland 6,074,849

I regret that comparable information for other member countries of the European Community is not available.
