§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo 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. RedwoodNo 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.
