HC Deb 16 November 1967 vol 754 cc164-5W
43. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will publish all the reports which he has received of the recent scientific expeditions to the Indian Ocean Atoll of Aldabra.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The participating scientists reported not to my right hon. Friend, but to the Royal Society and the Natural Environment Research Council. Publication of these reports is a matter for the organisations concerned.

44. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations have been made to him by international scientific bodies about the need to conserve the natural habitat at Aldabra Atoll in the Indian Ocean; and what reply he has sent.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

No direct representations have been made to my right hon. Friend on this subject by international scientific bodies.
