HC Deb 12 January 1981 vol 996 c434W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will now give favourable consideration to increasing fencing grants in lowland areas to 50 per cent. of the actual fencing costs.

Mr. Wiggin

On 1 February of last year the rate of grant for fencing was increased in lowland areas by 30 per cent. under the European Community scheme and by 12½ per cent. under the national scheme. I do not consider that a further increase would be justified.
