HC Deb 26 May 1978 vol 950 cc753-4W
Mrs. Wise

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether it is in accordance with his policy that agricultural tenants may be forced against their wishes to accept tenancy agreements which allow fox hunting over the land farmed by the tenant farmer, in the light of the damage to crops which may be caused; and what provisions afford tenant farmers compensation for damage caused.

Mr. Bishop

This is entirely a matter between the parties, and my right hon. Friend has no power to intervene.
