§ Mr. Muddasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the code of practice for farm buildings, initially sponsored by his Department, provides guidelines for grant approval for farm buildings under the capital grants scheme.
§ Mr. Strang:I take it that the hon. Member is referring to British Standard 5502 for buildings. When considering the eligibility for capital grant of farm buildings to which a British Standard, including 5502, is appropriate, we would require that building to conform to the relevant section. Thus the standard can be said to provide guidelines for grant approvals.
