§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those parts of Wales now to be included in the extended less-favoured areas and indicate the likely rate of grant.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsLists of areas designated in the United Kingdom as less-favoured will appear shortly in theOfficial Journal of the European Communities. Maps showing the original and the newly-designated areas will be placed in the Library and will also be made available in the divisional offices of my Agriculture Department for inspection by interested parties.
Rates of capital grant vary according to the type of improvement and scheme. I have today written to the hon. Gentleman giving some details.
