HC Deb 06 March 1978 vol 945 c489W
Mr. Paul Dean

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the latest estimate of the cost of the West Country blizzard, county by county, to farmers; and how much of the cost will be met by Her Majesty's Government or EEC funds.

Mr. Bishop

As my right hon. Friend has made clear, officials are assessing the damage as a matter of urgency but we are not yet in a position to add to the reply given to the hon. Member for Devon, West (Mr. Mills) on 27th February.—[Vol. 945 c.16.]
