HC Deb 06 May 1982 vol 23 c125W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the survey of marginal land in Wales is to be considered by the European Commission.

Mrs. Fenner

The survey in Wales was part of a review of marginal land in the whole of the United Kingdom. Any case for designating marginal land in Wales as a less-favoured area will be put to the Commission of the European Community in a United Kingdom context. We are still considering with colleagues the precise nature of the case to be put to Brussels.
