HC Deb 24 November 1992 vol 214 cc575-6W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what sums have been awarded, and to what groups, under his Department's Ministry's group marketing grant scheme since 1 April.

Mr. Curry

The Ministry is responsible for administering the group marketing grant in England. Since the scheme began in April we have approved nine applications —to a total value of £170,482. The majority of these have been for first phase feasibility studies which may well lead in due course to further awards. It is not our practice to give details of individual groups without their agreement.
