§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give the funding his Ministry has contributed to the North York Moors national park farm scheme in each of the last three years; what plans he has for the next three years; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GummerThis scheme is financed through the usual funding arrangements for national parks in which my Department has no involvement. However, farmers participating in the scheme may also benefit from the farm and conservation grant scheme funded by my Department. The Agricultural Development and Advisory Service is also available to offer advice and assistance in furtherance of the aims of the scheme, which has my full support.
