HC Deb 20 November 1995 vol 267 cc34-5W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals he has to ensure that set-aside land contributes a greater benefit to the environment. [351]

Mr. Baldry

Proposals have recently been agreed that allow land removed from production under agri-environmental and forestry schemes to count against set-aside requirements; this will allow longer term environmental gains.
