I wish to ask the Minister what proposals he intends to make in terms of a new rural resettlement scheme to promote the advantages of rural living. It was outlined as a one-year strategy in the programme for Government. Rather than being merely a rural resettlement scheme I wish to introduce a new concept of a rural revitalisation scheme which would help to reinvigorate rural communities and to bring people back into rural areas.
