HC Deb 30 October 1980 vol 991 c366W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, in view of the completion of the Northern Ireland survey in relation to the possible extension of the area covered by the EEC less favoured areas directive, if he will ensure that application is made to the EEC for the extension so that further areas of Northern Ireland which are suitable only for the production of cattle and sheep might be included.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I shall reply to the hon. Gentleman as soon as possible.
