HC Deb 10 December 1990 vol 182 cc267-8W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what response he intends to make to the criticisms contained in the Nature Conservancy Council report published on 28 November about the reorganisation of the Nature Conservancy Council.

Mr. Baldry

None. These issues were fully dealt with during the debates in both Houses on part VII of the Environmental Protection Act.

Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he will take to ensure that Britain's ecology continues to be treated as a continuum, following the break-up of the Nature Conservancy Council.

Mr. Baldry

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, ecological issues affecting Great Britain as a whole will fall within the remit of the Joint Nature Conservation Committee of the three new country councils.
