HC Deb 02 June 1980 vol 985 c610W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what effects he estimates cuts in expenditure will have on the agriculture industry in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

No changes in expenditure in Wales are planned, except for those arising from the rationalisation of the grant system announced by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on 31 January. Their effects will not be great.
