HC Deb 03 December 1980 vol 995 c131W
Dr. John Cunningham

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what conclusions he has drawn from the pilot survey of marginal land in Shropshire and Montgomeryshire; and what proposals he has for improving the position of fanners of such land in the United Kingdom;

(2) whether he will instigate a national survey of marginal land and review measures to aid farming in such areas; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

I hope to make a statement on these matters very shortly.
