HC Deb 15 November 1989 vol 160 c332W
Mr. Cummings

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many miles of hedgerow have been planted within the Easington area in the last two years; and at what cost.

Mr. Curry

This information is not available in the form requested. However, in the Newcastle division, which includes the Easington areas, during the last two financial years, grant aidable expenditure of some £30,600 was incurred on the provision of hedges and ancillary facilities. This sum represents the provision of almost 10 miles of new hedgerows.
