HC Deb 10 June 1993 vol 226 c310W
Mr. Milligan

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations she has received on which areas to target for support under the moorland destocking scheme.

Mr. Jack

I have received a number of representations supporting the Government's proposal that the scheme should be targeted on specific moorland in the less favoured areas where a reduction in sheep stocking would be most likely to achieve environmental benefit. Some respondents suggested particular areas or moorland types for inclusion.
