§ Mr. JoplingMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales and I are inviting farmers with land within the boundary line of the original LFAs, which has so far been excluded from any LFA benefit, to write to their local divisional office of the Ministry or the Welsh Office giving details of the location of the land and asking for it to be738W reassessed. We shall then consider, in the light of these reassessments, and the introduction of special aid to farmers in the new LFAs, whether individual areas of land should in future qualify for some level of LFA support.
