HC Deb 15 July 1977 vol 935 cc282-3W
Mr. Knox

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what measures are being taken to ensure that the craft of constructing dry stone walling is being maintained.

Associated proficiency tests are conducted under the auspices of the National Proficiency Test Council and are recognised for purposes of qualifying as a craftsman under the Agricultural Wages Board orders.
