HC Deb 09 November 1989 vol 159 cc780-1W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his Department's policy towards the practice of dividing farmland in the south of England into small plots and selling them off separately.

Mr. Maclean

This is not a matter for Government intervention. Owners have a fundamental right to dispose of their property as they see fit.
