Sheep Breeding

HC Deb 15 April 1980 vol 982 c581W

Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much is to be spent by the Government on improved methods of sheep breeding.

Mr. Wiggin

The Government spent approximately £830,000 in 1979–80 on improved methods of sheep breeding. I expect a similar amount of research on this subject to be funded in 1980–81.
