Mr. Hardy
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the total grant awarded to private landowners and others including water authorities, in the last financial year, by agricultural departments, for improvements including drainage, upon land notified as sites of scientific interest under section 23 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.
Mr. Wiggin
The information requested is not readily available and could not be provided except at disproportionate cost. This is because the centrally-kept records of payments of grant to individuals does not identify those holdings including or within a notified site of special scientific interest.
