HC Deb 07 July 1988 vol 136 cc736-7W
54. Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce a set of specific measures to asssit upland family farms of less than 50 hectares; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

All sizes of family farms in the less favoured areas already benefit from a range of measures, including particularly hill livestock compensatory allowances which are exclusive to the LFAs and which we extended to the upland areas in 1985.
