Mr. Caplin: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he proposes to prevent European agricultural
subsidies being paid for the growing of fibre flax on land of environmental importance. [3344]
Mr. Rooker: The Government considers that fibre flax is a useful, and relatively environment-friendly alternative crop. A number of
changes have recently been made to flax regime, which should ensure flax is grown on suitable land, appropriately cultivated and for
a definite end use. However, in view of the recent concern, we are looking at a range of options specifically to address the problem
of its cultivation on valuable wildlife sites.
