HC Deb 17 February 1983 vol 37 c248W
37. Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will ensure that public expenditure is no longer incurred in support of the removal of hedgerows, fences, ditches, walls and other boundary provisions, which are required to be maintained under various Acts of inclosure.

Mrs. Fenner

Under the farm capital grant schemes it is a condition that claimants must meet all relevant statutory requirements and obtain all necessary consents; and failure to comply with these conditions can lead to loss of grant. I am satisfied that these are adequate practicable safeguards in the circumstances.
