- Departmental Reviews. (1 Jul 2008)
Michael Creed: I am nearly as wise as I was before the Minister responded, but I expect all will become clearer after the House rises.

An issue that exercised us on Question Time on the past number of occasions is the sheep sector and, in particular, a package of...
- Departmental Reviews. (1 Jul 2008)
Michael Creed: I appreciate that. The complexity of all of this is difficult to grasp in a short space of time. Will the â¬28 million fund be ringfenced and remain for the sheep sector?
