ESA Payments (Hansard, 14 July 1989)

HC Deb 14 July 1989 vol 156 c663W 663W

§ Mr. Ron Davies
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the policy of the Crown Estate Commissioners in respect of the clawback of ESA payments made to tenants of farms within the estate.

§ Mr. Lawson
The only designated environmentally sensitive areas which affect the Crown Estate are in Wales.
The Crown Estate Commissioners are content that either commoners with registered rights or tenants on the Crown Estate within environmentally sensitive areas should, if they so wish, enter the ESA scheme without any payment to the Crown Estate.
