§ 25. Sir David KnoxTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the current administration of the national parks.
§ Mr. GummerOur policy statement on the national parks, published in January 1992, promised legislation to create independent authorities to administer the eight national parks in England and Wales currently run as county council committees. We remain fully committed to this proposal; the legislation will be introduced as soon as time permits.
