HC Deb 10 December 1969 vol 793 c117W
4. Mr. Wiggin

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will seek to make an acreage payment on barley and oat crops destroyed by natural disasters after 1st June and which became total crop failures.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

No. I cannot regard crops failing before 1st August as available for harvesting and thus eligible for acreage payment.
