HC Deb 03 July 1975 vol 894 cc509-10W
29. Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the fall in milk production in the United Kingdom, if he will resist further attempts to continue the beef conversion scheme in the Community as far as Great Britain is concerned and seek to make this scheme optional in each country of the Community.

Mr. Strang

The Dairy Herd Conversion Scheme was with our agreement closed to applicants on 31st December 1974 and there are no current proposals for resuming its operation.
