§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will now make it his policy to reinstate to levels prior to the recent cuts the hill livestock compensatory allowances in the less-favoured areas in Wales; what account he has taken of the effect on farmers' income of the recent adverse weather conditions; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Redwood[holding answer 29 April 1994]: The rates of hill livestock compensatory allowances are reviewed annually during the course of the autumn review of economic conditions in the hills and uplands. Any effects on farm incomes caused by the weather will be taken into account in the review later this year.
