§ Mr. MaclennanTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he will take to ensure that assistance from the European structural funds, under objective 1, will be channelled into crofting.
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 28 January 1994]: Crofters already benefit from a range of national and EC structural support measures which will continue under objective 1. In addition, the objective 1 plan which was recently submitted to the European Commission allows for consideration to be given to additional measures to help crofters to increase efficiency and improve the quality of their produce.
