HC Deb 14 February 1980 vol 978 c793W
59. Mr. Newens

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement of policy on the clearance of hedges on agricultural land.

Mr. Wiggin

The clearance of hedges is entirely a decision for the owner of the land. This Department does not grant-aid such work except in a minor way where a drainage scheme is involved or where they are an obstacle to cultivation.
