HC Deb 27 October 1993 vol 230 cc653-4W
Mr. Gunnell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the present status of the royal charter granted between 1123 and 1135 which stipulates that land at Lee Gap, Woodkirk, Morley, will be available for the holding of horse fairs; and which Department or agency of Government has responsibility for the maintenance of rights confirmed by royal charter.

Mr. Baldry

Information on royal charters is a matter for the Lord President of the Council, but the maintenance of such rights is a matter for the owner.
