§ Mr. Iain Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if Warwickshire will be included in the marginal land survey begun in March 1979; and if he will make a statement on progress.
§ Mr. WigginThe survey of marginal land, begun earlier this year, will, as I announced on 22 January, be confined to the original hill counties and will take in land contiguous to the existing less favoured areas together with nearby island sites of substantial area. Warwickshire is not one of the original counties and is not close to the existing less-favoured area line so it will not be included in the survey.
