HC Deb 11 June 1980 vol 986 c215W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how, and to what extent, the availability of structure grants, currently obtainable by farmers under the European common agricultural policy through the agency of the Welsh Office, would be affected by the inclusion of their farms within an area designated by him as a site of special scientific interest.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Structure grants under the European common agricultural policy are made available to farmers in Wales under the provisions of the farm and horticulture development scheme and the farm Structure (Payments to Outgoers) Scheme 1976. The extent of their availability within sites of special scientific interest depends on the circumstances of each case.
