§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer of 5 February,Official Report, columns 187–88, if he will list the amount of payments recovered or withheld under the set-aside scheme in England for each year since 1988; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gummer[holding answer 13 February 1992]: This information is set out in the table. It takes account of developments since my earlier answer of 5 February and this has resulted in some very minor discrepancies between the two sets of figures.
