Farm Grants (Drainage and Re-seeding)

HC Deb 26 March 1986 vol 94 cc501-2W

12. Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will meet the National Farmers Union of Scotland to discuss the re-introduction of grants for drainage and re-seeding of farm land.

Mr. John MacKay

No. Adequate grant provision is already available for drainage and re-seeding under the agriculture improvement scheme (European Community).
