Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the experimental husbandry farms that have been closed since 1980, giving in each case the date of their closure.

Mr. Gummer

The only experimental husbandry farm to close since 1980 was Great House which closed on 26 May 1982. The experimental husbandry farm at Trawsgoed was transferred to the Agriculture and Food Research Council on 1 April 1991 to form part of the new Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research.
