HC Deb 17 November 1972 vol 846 c254W
Mr. Roderick

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many hill farming schemes are uncompleted in Brecon and Radnor; and how many of these are uncompleted because of financial difficulties.

Mr. Gibson-Watt

The figures for comprehensive hill farming schemes approved for improvement grants under the Hill Farming and Livestock Rearing Acts, 1946–59, on 30th September were as follows:

Schemes Approved Schemes Uncompleted
Brecknockshire 745 162
Radnorshire 521 144

Schemes remain uncompleted for a variety of reasons. There is no information on the number of cases where the main reason was financial difficulty.
