Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to ensure the continuation of the ewe premium supplement to farmers in less-favoured areas in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

I will continue to ensure that the needs of farmers in the Welsh less-favoured areas are taken fully into account in determining supplements for ewe premium payments.
