§ 101. Mr. Kitsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will recommend to the Agricultural Research Council that the hill farm they wish to establish in the northeast of England should be sited in Wensleydale, Swaledale or in Teesdale; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. John MackieI assume that the hon. Member is referring to the recommendation which my right hon. Friend has had from his Agricultural Advisory Council that he should establish an experimental husbandry farm on the eastern side of the Pennines. I am afraid it is not possible to make financial provision for such a farm at the moment. If it is eventually approved, its location would depend primarily on where a suitable farm could be found within the area suggested.
