§ Mr. Macleanasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many of the farmers who are entitled to wet weather payments have made claims; and whether he anticipates that there will be surplus moneys left over from the funds allocated.
§ Mr. GummerClaims for exceptional weather aid in England have been received from well over 90 per cent. of farmers thought to be eligible to apply.
I do not anticipate that expenditure will differ significantly from the funds allocated.
