HC Deb 28 January 1997 vol 289 cc136-7W
Mr. Morley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what action is being taken to protect a badger sett at footpath 7, Langland lane, Fairmile, Devon from A30 construction work. [13219]

Mr. Clappison

There is no intention to disturb or remove any badger sett. However, it has been necessary to carry out work on a tree in the vicinity of a sett, in connection with the A30 construction work. Disturbance to the badger sett has been minimised by removing only parts of the tree.
