HC Deb 15 March 1993 vol 221 cc55-6W
Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has had about the application of the EC set-aside policy to the United Kingdom in comparison with its application to other EC members.

Mr. Curry

I receive requests from time to time for information about levels of uptake in the United Kingdom and other EC member states under the various EC set-aside arrangements. I have also received a number of representations about the possible impact of a GATT settlement on the set-aside requirement for the arable area payments scheme.
