HC Deb 15 January 1996 vol 269 c442W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the total estimated amount of financial support received by the agricultural industry(a) from the European Union, (b) from the United Kingdom Government and (c) in total in each standard region and in the United Kingdom as a whole in each year since 1990 at constant prices indicating each figure as a percentage of the corresponding total. [8089]

Mr. Boswell

Expenditure on agriculture, fisheries and food on a financial year basis for the United Kingdom as a whole is set out in the table. Because of the nature of expenditure on certain programmes, it is not possible to identify support for the agricultural industry separately. A breakdown by standard region is not available.
