HC Deb 10 April 1989 vol 150 c378W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State For Wales how many farmers in(a) Pembrokeshire and (b) Wales have applied for set-aside payments; and what is the total acreage for which claims have been made and the total amount claimed in each category.

Mr. Peter Walker

Fifteen farmers from the Preseli Pembrokeshire and South Pembrokeshire districts have applied to join the scheme, entering a total of 295 hectares. The figures for Wales are 35 farmers involving 1,008 hectares. Since payments are made annually in arreas, no claims are yet due.
