Such fees are illegal in the UK. The company, Adept and Agile, has lost its licence and the two directors - one based in Surrey, the other in Nepal, have been handed an interim Slavery and Trafficking Risk Order.

Wetlands are precious areas for particular species, and in Buckinghamshire a new project is creating a ten hectare site which will provide a home for wetland plants, aquatic and semi-aquatic invertebrates, amphibians and fish.

The underlying clay will form the base for a series of ponds, and the plan is to allow nature to re-colonise the site.
