Mr. John

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish a table showing for each year since 1977 expenditue on (a) capital grants other than for the storage and drying of grain, (b) capital grants for the storage and drying of grain and (c) other grants made under the agricultural and horticultural co-operation scheme expressed in terms (i) of current prices and (ii) of constant prices.

However the following information shows the amount and categories of grant recommendations made to Ministers by Food From Britain and its predecessor the Central Council for Agricultural and Horticultural Co-operation.
