HC Deb 28 October 1983 vol 47 cc228-9W
Mr. Peter Hardy

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the grants, subsidies and any other schemes of assistance which are available to British growers and processors of the following products: wheat, barley, beef, lamb, pig and pig products, poultrymeat and eggs; and if he will provide details of the legislative basis of such provision.

Mr. MacGregor

[pursuant to his reply, 27 October 1983, c. 177]: Producers and processors of these commodities can receive assistance under a wide variety of measures operated by the Community and nationally. A comprehensive list could be assembled only at disproportionate cost, but details of the principal aids for agricultural producers administered by my Department are contained in the booklet "At the Farmer's Service 1983/84". A copy is available in the Library of the House.
