HC Deb 04 August 1976 vol 916 c831W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many people who have applied and are eligible for hill cow subsidy and hill sheep subsidy, respectively, in Wales have not yet received their subsidies for the current year, to the latest available date.

Mr. Barry Jones

The total number of applicants in Wales eligible for compensatory allowances in the current year who have not yet been paid is 167. It is not possible to give separate figures for payments in respect of hill cows and hill sheep. Some of the applicants will be receiving payment shortly, but others where delay is due to probable and other legal difficulties cannot be paid until these problems are cleared.
