HC Deb 27 May 1988 vol 134 c406W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will estimate the total loss to Welsh sheep producers of the decision of the EEC sheepnneat management committee to set the 1987 ewe premium at £6.24 per ewe rather than the proposed £6.44.

Mr. Peter Walker

Some 4.7 million ewe are expected to qualify for 1987 sheep annual premium and the loss to Welsh producers as a consequence of the rate of premium being 20p less than originally anticipated will therefore be about £940,000.
