HC Deb 12 November 1981 vol 12 c176W
28. Mr. Trippier

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what specific Government assistance is being given to those who farm marginal land.

Mrs. Fenner

No special forms of assistance are available to marginal land farmers. They receive capital grant on their investments, as do other farmers, and, in addition, where appropriate, other forms of aid such as guidance premia, and suckler cow and sheep premia.
