HC Deb 14 June 1990 vol 174 c339W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what measures he proposes to assist the beef-rearing industry in Wales.

Mr. David Hunt

The beef-rearing industry is assisted by a number of measures, directly by the suckler cow premium and indirectly by market support measures. My agriculture colleagues and I are considering the suckler cow premium rate for 1990–91 and will make an announcement in due course.
