HC Deb 24 March 1983 vol 39 c464W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what provision is being made to control hydatidosis in mid-Wales.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The sum of £35,000 is included, as a new service, in the 1983–84 Estimates for agricultural support, Wales—Class XVI, Vote 2. Pending parliamentary approval of the 1983–84 Estimate, expenditure of up to £15,000 required from April onwards to continue a control programme previously funded locally, will be met by repayable advances from the Contingencies Fund.
