HC Deb 11 December 1990 vol 182 c331W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what financial support will be given to the organisation for the promotion of agricultural cooperatives in Wales in 1991.

Mr. David Hunt

The Welsh Agricultural Organisation Society does not receive any direct Government funds. One of the changes arising from the restructuring of Food From Britain's finances in 1988 was that the Welsh Agricultural Organisation Society would not, after March 1990, receive the annual subvention it had previously enjoyed. Food From Britain's new business plan emphasised project-based funding targeted at specific objectives. Consequently, Food From Britain will still consider funding the Welsh Agriculture Organisation Society, but only on a specific project basis.
