§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to give extra financial aid to hill farming research in Wales during 1981; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsThere are no such plans at present. However, it has been agreed that a more closely co-ordinated work programme to deal with the needs of Welsh hill and upland farming should be developed by my Department, the Welsh Plant Breeding Station and the United Kingdom Hill Farming Research Organisation.
