Edward Nealon
Question:243 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to the fact that farmers seeking extra sheep quota from the national reserve and who failed to be included in categories one and two distributions have still not been informed of the outcome of category three distributions; that 11 March 1994 is the last day for leasing or buying quotas; that in view of the fact that they do not know the outcome of category three they do not know whether to proceed with leasing or buying; that this has placed them in an impossible situation through no fault of their own; in view of this, the steps, if any, he will take to have the date for buying or leasing extended to at least the end of March 1994; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
