§ 16. Mr. Blenkinsopasked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources if he will cause a review to be made of the need for additional access agreements under Part V of the National Parks Act, 1949.
§ Mr. WilleyI propose to ask local authorities to review the need for more 1663 access agreements and to encourage them to make more use of their powers where it is shown to be necessary.
§ Mr. BlenkinsopWhile welcoming my right hon. Friend's reply, may I ask whether he agrees that big changes have taken place since the last review and that it is desirable that some kind of mandatory action should be taken so that the whole matter may be reconsidered?
§ Mr. WilleyThere are, I think, two things in particular that we should do. One is to encourage the use of existing powers and the second, as I have already said, is to reconsider the provisions in the Act.
