HC Deb 25 April 1991 vol 189 c554W
Miss Emma Nicholson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy to seek through the policies of the EC to encourage diversification within the rural economy.

Mr. Curry

This has been our policy for several years and we have already secured the adoption of Council regulation 3808/89, which extends the scope of the Community provisions for capital grants for farmers to include grants for diversification.
