Footpaths and Bridlepaths

HC Deb 04 November 1943 vol 393 c839

18. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether any record is being kept of footpaths and bridleways, including coast paths, which during the war have been diverted, ploughed up or closed?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Yes, Sir. I understand that each Government Department concerned keeps a list of those footpaths and bridlepaths, including coast paths, which it closes under Defence Regulations.

Mr. Keeling

Is my right hon. Friend exercising any sort of supervision over this matter?

Mr. Morrison

Yes, Sir, the matter is under supervision.
