HC Deb 30 January 1986 vol 90 c595W
Mr. Bell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if, in light of the loss of earnings due to last summer's wet weather, he will consider renewing the £4 million Government aid package that has now expired.

Dr. Boyson

No; the United Kingdom-wide package of measures designed specifically to provide some help for those livestock farmers who had been most seriously affected by bad weather in 1985 was not designed to meet all losses.
