I ask the Minister for Agriculture if he will ensure that in the current review of areas of natural constraint, the designation of mountain-type land will be retained, and if he will ensure payments in line with the more severe natural constraints in these areas. The ANC scheme recognises the constraints under which some farmers operate due to the nature of their land, and the mountain land designation in particular is critically important in the scheme.
