I knoiv livestock farmers in the area have been hit particularly hard, but let’s not forget there is a recession in industry, too. Your sheep farmers should be helped by the £0.80 premium I have announced and there have been significant recent improvements in Hill Livestock Compensatory Allowances and those for Less Favoured Areas. With the fairly high rainfall in the valley,


the public will take no excuses for river pollution. This is why I was delighted to visit Dugdale’s Mill in Clitheroe and find they are starting an experi­ ment in the Ribblc Valley to tackle the problem by the use of whole-crop forage along with silage, which has 50 to 60 per cent dry matter and so produces no effluent. How can dairy farmers plan ahead when they
