HC Deb 21 December 1944 vol 406 cc1925-6
24. Mr. Edmund Harvey

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what progress has been made by his Ministry in arrangements to carry out the recommendations of the Scott Commission for the preservation and marking of public footpaths.

Mr. W. S. Morrison

The matter referred to has been considered in conference between the Departments concerned, and I hope to receive a report at an early date.

Mr. Harvey

In the meantime, as paths have been lost continually, would not the Minister consider communicating with local authorities, suggesting that they set up committees to go into this matter? It would cost nothing.

Mr. Morrison

I will consider that.
