HC Deb 16 December 1993 vol 234 cc803-5W
Dr. Strang

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if she will list the number of producers entitled to hill livestock compensatory allowances by county and local authority subdivisions, distinguishing between those located in severely disadvantaged areas and disadvantaged areas.

Mr. Jack

[holding answer 15 December 1993]: The table shows the most up to date information available on the number of claims paid under the 1993 hill livestock compensatory allowance scheme from producing farming eligible land wholly within the severely disadvantaged area—SDA—or the disadvantaged area—DA—or on mixed land—SDA combined with DA land. There are also about 4,000 holdings in the United Kingdom which consist of SDA or DA land plus other land. Most of the claims expected for the 1993 scheme have by now been received.
