HC Deb 10 July 1990 vol 176 c146W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total amount paid to farmers under the environmentally sensitive area scheme in each of the designated areas in the year to 31 March; how much was reimbursed by the European Economic Community; and when he expects to be able to assess any savings made under the common agricultural policy.

Mr. David Hunt

Participants in the ESA schemes in the Cambrian mountains and the Lleyn peninsula received £478,000 and £228,000 respectively in 1989–90. The payments attract 25 per cent. reimbursement from EC Funds—FEOGA. The economic studies which will provide information on any change in support costs under the CAP are not yet complete.
