§ Dr. StrangTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the area figures in hectares on a county basis for(a) applications under the main scheme of the arable area payments scheme in 1993 apportioned to (i) cereals, (ii) oilseeds, (iii) protein crops and (iv) set-aside and (b) applications under the simplified scheme of the arable area payments scheme in 1993 apportioned to (x) cereals, (y) oilseeds and (z) protein crops.
§ Mrs. ShephardThe following table gives provisional figures for the five separate yield regions. Because applicants had to submit a single area aid application in respect of all their land, it is not possible to provide accurate figures on a county basis. I will, however, let the hon. Member have area figures related to the county in which the applicant's main holding is based as soon as they are available.
