HC Deb 15 March 1982 vol 20 c36W
Mr. Ennals

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many claims for grants outside national parks and sites of special scientific interest have been refused because the improvement works have damaged the scientific, wildlife or scenic interest of the land.

Mrs. Fenner

I regret that this information is not available. It would be expensive to collect and the results could be misleading because grant may be refused for more than one reason and experience has shown that many farmers do not claim grant if they think it is likely to be refused.
