Mr. Cran

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent representations he has received on the operation in the United Kingdom of the European Community set-aside scheme.

Mr. Curry

Following a number of representations on the operation of the set-aside scheme to date, my right hon. Friends and I reviewed the scheme and introduced a number of changes of benefit to the environment including a requirement to cut the plant cover twice a year and a limited form of grazed fallow.
