HC Deb 02 March 1971 vol 812 c381W
60. Mr. John Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the new standard cost per acre for grubbing orchards.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The standard cost varies from 13p to £1.82 per tree removed depending on the girth of the trunk. To qualify for grant on these standard costs the orchard must cover at least a quarter of an acre and the land must be left in a fit state for ploughing.
