§ Mr. Monroasked the Secretary of State for Scot land to what extent farms eligible for winter keep, but excluded because of dairying, will receive the 2s. winter keep supplement to the hill ewe subsidy; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossFarms which are not eligible for winter keep grant because they are being used for dairying to a material extent do not qualify for the 2s. per ewe supplement. The 1965 Annual Review White Paper made it clear that this payment is a supplement to the acreage payments under the winter keep scheme made in order to ensure comparability with other areas in the United Kingdom.
