Agriculture (Northern Ireland)

: I wonder whether the hon. Gentleman is aware that funding for anaerobic digestion and for development of the use of slurry is available to other parts of the United Kingdom under the national industrial symbiosis programme, but that no funding has been allocated to Northern Ireland. I have written to the Minister to ask why. I will discuss her answer to my question at more length in my speech; otherwise I run the risk of making too long an intervention. I just mention that to find out whether the hon. Gentleman is aware of it.
