HC Deb 02 May 1990 vol 171 c604W
Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce legislation to bring forward the latest topping date on set-aside land to 1 August of each year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maclean

We are considering whether there is a case for any change in the set-aside rules, including those relating to the management of land set-aside to fallow. An announcement will be made shortly.
