Set-aside Land

HC Deb 23 February 1995 vol 255 c309W

16. Sir Ralph Howell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what voluntary schemes now exist to promote public access to set-aside land.

Mr. Jack

Last September, we launched a new voluntary countryside access scheme to encourage farmers who have suitable set-aside land to make that land available to the public for walking and other forms of quiet recreation.
