§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list all those subsidies, grants, tax-allowance and schemes currently available to British farmers.
§ Mr. Ryder[holding answer 26 January 1989] : Market support measures, provided under the CAP, vary according to commodity but generally include some or all of the following: intervention purchase, private storage aid, production aid, livestock premia, import levies and export refunds, and minimum prices.
In addition, national schemes have been introduced under EC and United Kingdom legislation. These include capital and non-capital grant schemes, the farm diversification grant scheme, hill livestock compensatory allowances, environmentally sensitive areas, set-aside and the farm woodland scheme.
