HC Deb 16 March 1989 vol 149 c340W
25. Ms. Mowlam

To ask the Minister of Agriculture. Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement about the future of the Agricultural development advisory service.

Mr. MacGregor

ADAS continues to provide excellent service. Its future size depends in part on the extent to which industry is prepared to fund near-market R and D and pay for appropriate advisory services.
