asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will agree to publish the results of the recent survey before the Government make their submission to the EC.
Written Answers. - Disadvantaged Areas Survey.
56.
It has not been the custom in the past and would be a breach of protocol to publish the results of surveys of the disadvantaged areas in anticipation of obtaining EC approval of the designation of new areas and reclassification of existing areas. I do not propose, therefore, to publish the results of the current survey before the Government makes its submission to the EC.
