HC Deb 03 December 1975 vol 901 cc645-6W
Mr. Banks

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will set out the grants currently available to British farmers from the EEC

Mr. Bishop

European Community funds wholly or partly finance many grants, subsidies or other arrangements in the United Kingdom. A description of the scheme administered by the Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce was set out in the Board's Annual Report for 1974 (Cmnd. 6033) presented to Parliament in April 1975. Some of the schemes administered by the Agriculture Departments also attract European Community funds. The various schemes now available in England and Wales are set out in my Ministry's booklet "At the Farmer's Service", copies of which are available in the Library of the House.
