Liz McManus
Question:152 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the regulations or guidelines, if any, governing the level of charges that may be imposed by private planners in regard to the REP scheme; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that some planners have significantly increased their charges and, in some cases, they can charge up to £700 for an initial plan, when the procedure can often consist of little more than submitting an ordnance survey map; if he will consider regulating these charges; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
