HC Deb 13 February 1998 vol 306 c405W
Charlotte Atkins

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland which Scottish fox destruction societies have had their government grants cancelled. [28629]

Mr. Macdonald

None. Under a modified grant scheme to be introduced on 1 April 1998 the cost of the upkeep of hounds will no longer be supported, following a review which found these costs to be disproportionate to the benefits achieved.
