Question
What plans he has to alter the amount payable to farmers involved in the over 30 month cattle scheme to take account of fluctuation in the value of the green pound.
Answer
Mrs. Organ: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to alter the amount payable to farmers involved in the over 30 months cattle scheme to take account of fluctuation in the value of the green pound. [5341] Mr. Rooker: None. The sterling value of payments made for cattle slaughtered under the Over 30 Months Scheme still represents a good return in comparison with the market price of clean beef in the UK and cull cow prices in some other member states.
