HL Deb 13 March 2001 vol 623 cc84-5WA
Baroness Byford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many people have been employed in organising the various countryside schemes in each of the past three years. [HL613]

The Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Lord Whitty)

A wide range of bodies employ people to organise schemes in the countryside. Details are not held centrally and to collect this information would involve disproportionate cost.
