HC Deb 04 July 1991 vol 194 c186W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to start administering the countryside premium scheme.

Mr. Curry

It is our intention to take over responsibility for the scheme and, subject to review and obtaining the necessary EC powers, extend it nationally. However, the final form and timing of adoption of the necessary EC proposals are uncertain.
