HC Deb 18 February 1969 vol 778 cc63-4W
56. Mr. Hazell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what plans he is considering for the creation of a country park to cover the area of the Norfolk Broads, or for part of the area.

Mr. Skeffington

This would be a matter in the first place for the local authorities, who under the Countryside Act, 1968 can seek grant of up to 75 per cent. of the cost from my right hon. Friend on the recommendation of the Countryside Commission. No proposals have however so far been received for the creation of country parks in the area of the Norfolk Broads.
