HC Deb 11 June 1980 vol 986 cc214-5W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what provision he intends to make, in the event of his designating an area of the Berwyn range as a site of special scientific interest, for the availability of agricultural grants under improvement schemes approved by Her Majesty's Government and for the continued payment of grants already approved, to farmers within the area so designated.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Farms within the boundaries of sites of special scientific interest in Wales are eligible for capital improvement grants available under the farm capital grant scheme or the farm and horticulture development scheme. If an area of the Berwyn range is notified as a site of special scientific interest farmers there will qualify for capital grants in the same way as farmers within existing sites.
