answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2015 answer text <p>Defra was created in 2001. It is therefore not possible to provide an answer in respect of the years prior to this. Natural England was established on 1 October 2006, so no data is available until the 2006-07 financial year.</p><br /><p>The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has identified that it has spent £300 on lead ammunition in the past three years, but is unable to provide a breakdown by year. Prior to this, the shooting of pests was outsourced and Kew is unable to identify the cost of ammunition provided through this service.</p><br /><p>Financial records do not always specify the type of ammunition purchased or the material from which it was made. Our records – with the caveats above – imply that Natural England has spent an average of £253 per year on lead shot since records began.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 16/12/2015 12:53:39 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
