§ Sir David MitchellTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many schemes his Department runs to provide help or finance for small firms; and if he will list them.
§ Mr. MacleanNearly all farms are small firms and the wide ranging help and finance available from the Department is set out in the booklet "At The Farmer's Service" available in the House of Commons Library. In addition marketing and other help is provided, under various schemes, to businesses, many of which are small firms, in the food and drink sectors, through Food From Britain, and also in the fisheries sector.
