(2)whether he will give details of the cases where grant-aid has been paid to owners or occupiers of sites of special scientific interest to carry out activities recognised by the Nature Conservancy Council as damaging to the special interest of the site since 1970 by listing the name of the site, the amount of grant-aid paid, the nature of the damaging operation and the amount of land affected.

Mrs. Fenner
