HC Deb 18 April 1994 vol 241 c385W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the effect on arable farmers in Wales of the division of Wales into less-favoured area/non-less-favoured area sectors for the purposes of grant payment; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redwood

No producer will receive less this year than last, subject to any changes in the green rate in force on 1 July 1994 and provided that the total area on which payments are made remains constant. Specialist cereal growers, most of whom are in the non-less-favoured area sector, will benefit from higher payments.
