Pennines Environmentally Sensitive Area (Hansard, 20 February 1992)

HC Deb 20 February 1992 vol 204 c240W 240W

§ Dr. David Clark
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement about the further changes he intends to make to the North Pennines environmentally sensitive area.

§ Mr. Gummer
In drawing up the Pennine Dales environmentally sensitive area scheme, which I announced on 15 January, I consulted farmers, conservationists and other bodies. I have continued to work closely with local interests, and as a result, I have concluded that further changes are needed. I will announce the details as soon as possible.
