HC Deb 19 September 2002 vol 390 c287W
Annabelle Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment. Food and Rural Affairs what recent consultations she has had with organisations representing Scottish farmers regarding CAP reform. [72438]

Mr. Morley

DEFRA has put in place mechanisms to consult a wide range of UK and English bodies on the Commission's Communication on the Mid-Term Review of the CAP. Consulting the industry in Scotland is a matter for the Scottish Executive, with whom DEFRA has ongoing discussions on the Mid-Term Review.
