HC Deb 18 April 1950 vol 474 cc5-6
7. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he will issue, for the guidance of parish councils and others, information about rights of way in language less difficult to comprehend than that of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act.

Mr. Dalton

A pamphlet on this subject has already been issued for the information of all local authorities, including parish councils. I am sending the hon. Member a copy.

Mr. Keeling

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the pamphlet is taking a very long time to reach parish councils and has not reached them?

Mr. Dalton

I am not sure whether the hon. Gentleman is aware that the Parish Councils Association have stated that the pamphlet is excellent and all they needed. I do not know whether he is also aware that it was issued to the parish councils on 21st February.

Mr. Keeling

It has not reached many of them.
