§ 28. Mr. Hicksasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state the latest position concerning the United Kingdom application to the European Economic Community Commission for designated marginal land to be eligible for less favoured area support; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. FennerWe hope shortly to be able to submit our case for extension to Brussels. As I have said in answer to a number of earlier questions, however, there is still no Government commitment to provide additional aid to any marginal areas which may eventually be designated as less favoured.
