64 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when the promised White Paper on rural development will be produced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27808/98]
The White Paper on rural development is being drafted with the support of an interdepartmental committee which is being chaired by Minister of State Davern. Work on the preparation of a draft document is at an advanced stage and I expect to submit proposals to Government early in the new year.
