§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many applications have been made to date during 1975–76 for grants under the Dairy Herd Conversation Scheme; and how this compares with the estimated number which he originally provided for the current financial year.
§ Mr. BishopThe closing date for applications for grant under this scheme was 31st December 1974, so no new applications were accepred during 1975–76. The number of applications received before them and approved during the current financial year was 2,017 compared with our original estimate of 851.
