HC Deb 23 March 1978 vol 946 c643W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what areas in Wales the United Kingdom Government have communicated to the European Economic Community Commission as being suitable for inclusion in the Community list of less-favoured areas.

Mr. Bishop

The extent of eligible land in less-favoured areas in Wales is 900,000 hectares. The parishes in the United Kingdom which lie wholly within, and partly within, less-favoured areas are separately listed in Council Directive 75/276/EEC of 19th May 1975—Vol. 18, No. LI28 of the Official Journal of the European Communities—as amended by the Commission Decision 76/685/EEC of 27th July 1976—Vol. 19, No. L231 of the Official Journal dated 21st August 1976, and corrected in Official Journal No. L234 of 25th August 1976.
