HC Deb 06 February 1985 vol 72 cc614-5W
21. Mr. Nicholas Baker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations have been made to him as to the possible effect on the countryside of constraints in milk production.

Mr. Waldegrave:

I have received representations from various quarters expressing concern that the introduction of quotas on milk production may encourage the conversion of grazing marshes in the Broads to arable, and, in addition, have adverse implications for employment in rural areas.
