§ Mr. MacdonaldTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will extend the consultation period on the habitats directive to allow objectors to marine sites to make further representations to the Government; and if he will publish the list of sites to which objections have been received and from whom. [33757]
§ Mr. KynochThe Government are presently considering responses received to the consultation exercise on the list of possible marine special areas of conservation under the EC habitats directive. Once this is complete, the Government will announce how we propose to take matters forward.
In line with normal procedure, full sets of the responses received will shortly be made available for public inspection in departmental libraries, apart from any instances where respondents asked for their comments to be kept confidential.
