SO A woman with a personal fortune of pounds 6.45bn wants a grant of pounds 300,000 to build a fence round one of her estates to keep out red deer. This very same woman receives pounds 10m a year from the taxpayer for her and her family - pays no tax and is to be spared a parliamentary debate on her position until the year 2000.
