§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what resources are available to Wales in 1984–85 and 1985–86 for the outgoers scheme in relation to the European Economic Community dairy industry quotas and for allocation of additional quotas to special cases.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsThe outgoers scheme is a national United Kingdom scheme for which £50 million is being made available over the five years 1984–85 to 1988–89. £1 million may come to Wales in 1984–85 and in each of the following four years depending on the response of Welsh farmers to the scheme. 2.6 per cent. of the 1984–85 national quota has been reserved for special cases, the distribution of which will depend on the assessment of hardship by the Engnald and Wales tribunal following an initial determination of claims by local panels.
