HC Deb 18 February 1991 vol 186 c42W
Mr. Denzil Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much the total payments received by the agricultural industry in Wales were under the common agricultural policy in each of the last three years.

Mr. David Hunt

Total expenditure in the United Kingdom under the common agricultural policy in the last three years was:

£ million
1987–88 1,611.1
1988–89 1,362.9
1989–90 1,230.5

Although it is possible to identify some of the payments which have been made to the agriculture industry in Wales—details are contained in the annual appropriation accounts, class XVII, votes I and II, Wales—it is not possible to disaggregate all United Kingdom common agricultural policy expenditure in this way.
