HC Deb 03 December 1997 vol 302 cc269-70W
22. Mr Livsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will introduce measure to assist the hill and upland farm sector in Wales. [17492]

Mr. Win Griffiths

An announcement on the outcome of the autumn review of Hill Livestock Compensatory Allowances will be made shortly. In addition, I am working to introduce an all-Wales agri-environment scheme, and to develop the Welsh Food Strategy so that Welsh agriculture is better able to compete in the long term.
