HC Deb 12 June 1979 vol 968 c201W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what special steps he proposes to take to assist Welsh hill farmers, by way of subsidy or otherwise, in view of the very substantial ewe and lamb losses they suffered during the recent winter and of the quadrupling of their feeding costs during the same period.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Together with my right hon. Friends the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the other agriculture Ministers, I am currently considering proposals from the farmers' unions for further aid to hill livestock producers.
