HC Deb 08 November 1989 vol 159 c700W
43. Mr. Jessel

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will review encroachment fees charged by his Department in relation to the fringes of royal parks.

Mr. Trippier

Encroachment licences are essential to control developments on the boundaries of the royal parks. Encroachment fees are normally reviewed every five years but in some cases there has been a considerably longer period without review. There is an element of catching-up in some the increases.
