§ 81. Mr. Manderasked the Minister of Health the number of organisations, together with the names, which have so far forwarded resolutions asking the Government to give effect to the provisions of the report of the National Parks Committee, 1931, that a national parks authority should be set up?
§ Sir K. WoodI have received resolutions on the subject mentioned from 41 organisations not including affiliated branches. I am sending the hon. Member a list of the bodies from whom resolutions have been received.
§ Mr. ManderIn view of the widespread interest which is being taken in this matter, would it be possible to circulate the names of the bodies in the OFFICIAL REPORT?
§ Sir K. WoodThere is a very large number of resolutions. I can tell the hon. Member that they come from most influential associations like the Oxford Preservation Trust, the Geographical Association, the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, and a number of other bodies interested in the question.
§ Mr. ManderAm I right in thinking that the matter is engaging the earnest consideration of the Government?
§ Sir K. WoodThe hon. Member may be assured that I have the matter in mind?
§ Mr. TurtonHas the right hon. Gentleman yet heard from the Liberal Preservation Trust on the subject?
§ Sir K. WoodNo, I understand that that is in process of liquidation.
