HC Deb 07 July 1971 vol 820 c1327
22. Mr. Jopling

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will take steps to alter the name of Heritage Coasts.

Mr. Peter Walker

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales and I will be happy to consider all suggestions for alternative names.

Mr. Jopling

Is my right hon. Friend aware that I had difficulty in hearing that answer? Is he also aware that the name "Heritage Coasts" is nonsense from a grammatical point of view, is likely to be highly misleading to people who visit those areas and has been widely opposed by a variety of organisations? Will he ask the Countryside Commission to think again and suggest a better name?

Mr. Walker

If my hon. Friend had heard my reply, he would have heard me say that I shall be happy to consider all suggestions for alternative names.
