§ 14. Mr. Delwyn Williamsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will propose new initiatives to ameliorate the deteriorating condition of farmers on marginal land.
§ Mr. WigginThe Government are well aware of the difficulties facing marginal land farmers and this is why we have started on a survey to identify those areas currently outside the less favoured areas line which might meet the requirements for designation as less favoured, as set out in European Community directive 75/268.
§ 33. Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he intends to provide less favoured area assistance for marginal land farmers; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WigginI refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave earlier today to my hon. Friend the Member for Bodmin (Mr. Hicks).
