HC Deb 08 December 1994 vol 251 c353W
Mr. Welsh

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent representations he has received regarding hill farming incomes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jack

Members on hill farming incomes in the context of this year's autumn review of economic conditions in the hills and uplands. All these views were carefully considered before we came to a decision on the rates of hill livestock compensatory allowances which will apply for the 1995 scheme.
