“The Mossdale estate in the Yorkshire Dales, owned by the Van Cutsem family, obtained £54,000 in [EU common agricultural policy (CAP)] subsides in 2014 and £170,000 in 2015. In June, the estate resigned from the Moorland Association after a keeper was filmed setting illegal pole traps.” (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/oct/28/grouse-shooting-estates-shored-up-by-millions-in-subsidies)
Resigning from that interest group is simply a saving of £75.00 pa; how about our money back?
The parliamentary debate on driven grouse shooting is Monday 31 October 2016, 4.30pm, Westminster Hall.
