§ 39 Mr. Manderasked the Minister of Health whether he is now able to make any statement with regard to the policy of the Government for setting up a national parks authority, as recommended by the Royal Commission in 1931?
§ The Minister of Health (Mr. Elliot)I am not yet in a position to make any statement on this matter.
§ Mr. ManderIn view of the delay of seven years and the tremendous public interest taken in this question, will the right hon. Gentleman pot indicate whether a decision is likely to be taken at an early date?
§ Mr. ElliotI have just taken over the examination of this problem. I hope it will not take too long.
§ Mr. ManderIf I put down a question in three weeks' time will the right hon. Gentleman be in a position to give me an answer?
§ Mr. James GriffithsDoes not this indicate that progress has stopped since 1931?
