§ 58. Mr. Stokesasked the Minister of Agriculture what steps he has taken to ensure that no subsidy is paid by his Department on sand removed by hauliers from above high water mark at both Mawgan Porth, Constantine Bay and Rock in Cornwall.
Mr. T. WilliamsMy main concern, so far as the payment of subsidy is concerned, is to ensure that the sand is suitable for, and is used for, liming agricultural land. But no subsidy has been paid in recent years in respect of sand removed 287W from the beach at Mawgan Porth, and I am not aware that any has been paid on sand removed from above high water mark at Constantine Bay and Rock.
