32. Mr. Spence

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will assist hill and marginal land livestock farmers financially or otherwise with the aim of enabling them to stand the cost of carrying stores strata beef and sheep over the coming winter; and if he will make a statement.

I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's speech in the House on 31st October when he described proposals to bring forward the hill and beef cow subsidies and to increase the hill sheep subsidies.
