HC Deb 24 October 1985 vol 84 cc255-6W
Mr. Home

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the value and the method of distribution of the aid which he has announced for sectors of the farming industry which have been affected by bad weather.

Mr. Jopling

I am considering the most appropriate ways of helping livestock farmers some of whom face enormous difficulties this winter because of the effect of the adverse weather on the availability of winter feed. We intend to provide help—extra money—where it is most needed as soon as possible.
