HC Deb 11 November 1998 vol 319 cc253-4W
Mr. Harvey

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many complaints his Department has received about allocation of sheep quota from the national reserve; what was the total amount of compensation(a) offered and (b) paid to complainants in the last year for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement. [58676]

Mr. Rooker

Extraction of information on complaints by farmers referring to sheep quota national reserve allocations could be achieved only at disproportionate cost. No compensation has been offered or paid as a result of complaints made direct to the Department about sheep quota national reserve allocations.
