HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 cc984-5W
Mr. Alexander

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if she will list her Department's current proposals for the assistance of British agriculture in the next 12 months.

Mr. Jack

British agriculture is supported by the mechanisms of the common agricultural policy. In the forthcoming negotiations to set CAP prices for 1994–95, my right hon. Friend will press for a settlement which takes full account of British farmers' interests.

British farming will in addition continue to benefit from the wide range of Ministry grant and subsidy schemes and from schemes to encourage effective marketing of agricultural products, as well as from our continuing drive to remove unnecessary regulation. Information on all these departmental activities is available in the House Library.
