HC Deb 04 November 1976 vol 918 c670W
25. Mr. Kimball

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether it is his intention to make a reseeding grant available to those adversely affected by the drought.

Mr. Strang

Grant is already payable on the cost of reseeding and regenerating permanent grassland irrespective of whether the need for this arises from drought or from other causes. Grant is not, however, available for normal husbandry operations in this area or for the reseeding of temporary leys.
