HC Deb 31 October 1984 vol 65 c1056W
Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will make a statement on the hill farm industry in less favoured areas of Scotland.

Mr. John MacKay

A review of the economic situation in the hill farming industry is carried out each autumn in close consultation with the farmers' unions. This year's review has just started. A Government statement on the outcome of the review is normally made by about the end of November.
