HC Deb 13 March 1995 vol 256 c438W
Dr. Strang

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what length of hedgerow has been lost in Scotland in each year since 1979.

Sir Hector Monro

Reliable estimates of hedgerow loss are not available in the form requested.

As part of the work on its national countryside monitoring scheme, Scottish Natural Heritage will be producing, by the end of 1995, further Scottish estimates for the period 1970 to 1988.
