HC Deb 08 June 1964 vol 696 cc23-4W

89. Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many farms in England and Wales have now been declared ineligible for the Hill Cow Subsidy Scheme which were formerly eligible for such subsidy.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

Of the 14,357 farms in England and Wales for which hill cow subsidy was paid in 1962, 787 have been declared ineligible to date as a result of last year's review of eligible land. 616 other farms have been declared to be partly eligible.
