The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-22361 by Ross Finnie on 8 February 2002, why no funding has been allocated to hedge planting or for the restoration of stone dykes.

The answer

Answered by Ross Finnie on 7 Mar 2002 · 23 days after it was lodged, on time

No funding has been allocated to hedge planting or restoration of stone dykes because funding in full all applications, including capital measures which are not essential to conservation management, would have meant that only a small proportion of those who applied to join the Rural Stewardship Scheme in 2001 would have received funding.
