HC Deb 15 February 1991 vol 185 c634W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the number and value of applications for regional enterprise grants in Wales by each quarter of 1989 and 1990.

Mr. David Hunt

The information is as follows:

The breeding flock has expanded steadily—by nearly a million—over the last decade and now stands at 5.1 million head. In 1991, sheep producers in the LFA will benefit from substantial increases in the rate of HLCA payments and a supplement of 4 ecu to the sheep annual premium which together will increase the support payments to producers in Wales by £18 million.
