Commons Bill [HL]

I shall write to the noble Earl with a full answer. So that he can take the matter away and consider it, I shall say that the Federation of Cumbria Commoners was established by a rural enterprise scheme grant. I am sure that he welcomed and supported that at the time, or even would do so in retrospect. Similar moneys may be available in future for setting-up, but his question is a serious one and deserves a written answer, which it will get.
