§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many applications have been made in the current year for category 3 sheep quota from the national reserve; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RedwoodWe have received 2,011 applications—1,745 from producers in the less-favoured area in Wales and 266 from producers who fall within the Great Britain lowland—to category 3 of the 1993 sheep national reserves.
These applications will be considered against the criteria established in S.I. 1993 No. 3036, and individual producers notified of the outcome in due course.
