HC Deb 11 June 1936 vol 313 c379
36. Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Health whether the Government are now in a position to accept the recommendations of the National Parks Committee, which reported in April, 1931?

Sir K. WOOD

No, Sir. Several local authorities are, however, preparing planning schemes under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1932, which will have the effect of preserving large areas of land, including a number of well-known beauty spots. Further schemes of the same kind may also be anticipated.

Mr. MANDER

Has not the right hon. Gentleman considered the definite recommendation of the report which would only involve the sum of £10,000 a year?

Sir K. WOOD

Other methods are being adopted.
