§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to announce decisions on HLCA payments for each forthcoming year no later than the end of December in the previous year.
§ Mr. David HuntI fully recognise the importance of the hill livestock compensatory allowance scheme to our livestock producers in less favoured areas, and always seek to ensure that decisions on the HLCA scheme arrangements are announced as quickly as possible.
