HC Deb 26 February 1986 vol 92 c586W
40. Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will restore fencing only grants for crofters.

Mr. Rifkind

Provided there is agricultural justification for the work, grant assistance for fencing, unaccompanied by other works, is available throughout the crofting areas under the crofting counties agricultural grants scheme at the rate of 55 per cent. of the eligible cost.
