HC Deb 10 June 1999 vol 332 cc395-6W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list those areas(a) he will raise and (b) he expects other member states will raise at the forthcoming Agriculture Council meeting on 30 May to 1 June. [85636]

Advisory Service and (ii) the Refugee Legal Centre for 1997-98 and the number of appeals in both categories disposed of by the Immigration Appellate Authority in the same period together with the unit cost in both categories. [70755]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

[pursuant to his reply, 22 February 1999, c. 104]The information requested is shown in the table.

It should be noted that the figures for the Refugee Legal Centre (RLC) and the Immigration Advisory Service (IAS) are based on outcomes (those cases in which the appeal has been disposed of) rather than outputs (those cases in which representation has been provided, but the appeal may or may not have finally been disposed). The number of cases dealt with by the RLC based on outputs is 8,154. The IAS do not have any comparable statistical information on outputs.

Mr. Nick Brown

The meeting scheduled for 30 May to 1 June in Dresden is an informal meeting of EU Agriculture Ministers. As is usual for such meetings, there is no formal agenda and no official documents will be discussed. The only item scheduled for discussion is a German Presidency Paper on "Sustainable Rural Development: Agricultural Structure Policy for Rural Areas".
