HC Deb 30 January 2001 vol 362 c137W
Mr. Andrew George

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much funding the Government will provide to the United Kingdom farming industry as state aid support in the 2000–01 financial year. [146268]

Ms Quin

The Government are required to provide this information to the European Commission as part of an annual report on state aids. This is an extensive exercise which will be completed at the end of June. The work could be brought forward only at disproportionate cost. I will write to the hon. Member when the figures are available.
