Snowdonia National Parks Committee

HC Deb 23 March 1982 vol 20 cc290-1W

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he has received any representations concerning the representation of angling interests on the Snowdonia national parks committee; and what response he has given to these.

Mr. Michael Roberts

In the last six months representations have been received from Genweirwyr Gwynedd. It has been explained to it that my right hon. Friend makes only one-third of appointments to the National Parks Committee and that these appointments are intended to represent the wider viewpoint of the purposes for which the national park was established.
