§ Dr. David Clarkasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his estimate of the miles of hedgerows in England and Wales (a) removed and (b) planted, respectively, for each year since 1975.
§ Mrs. FennerThe information on which to base such estimates is not currently available. We do, however, hope to be able to make some estimates of the amount of hedgerow planting and removal in recent years from my Department's current survey of environmental topics on farms.
