HC Deb 02 July 1987 vol 118 c153W
16. Mr. Chapman

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will review the criteria for classifying the grades of agricultural land.

Mr. Gummer

This Department is undertaking work which will improve the objectivity of agricultural land classifications. We plan to consult external practitioners later this year with a view to introducing the revised system early in 1988.
