HC Deb 07 February 1983 vol 36 cc268-9W
Sir Raymond Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to give assistance to producers of Welsh lamb in their plans to improve its marketing.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Several projects are receiving assistance from my Department including the Welsh lamb enterprise scheme which I launched last December. This is a positive and timely initiative by producers and I hope that all producers will support it. Food from Britain will be established shortly, subject to parliamentary approval, with Government financial assistance in its early years to develop the marketing of all agricultural produce in conjunction with existing bodies and organisations.
