HC Deb 03 July 1997 vol 297 c261W
Mr. Green

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to compensate farmers for the recent revaluations of the green pound. [6158]

Mr. Rooker

Payment of the aid available, as agreed by the March Agriculture Council, would have significant implications for UK public expenditure. We are considering carefully the case made by interested parties for payment.
