HC Deb 30 January 1963 vol 670 c184W
56 and 57. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) whether he maintains a record of Scottish beauty spots on the lines of the historic buildings record;

(2) what is the policy of the Government for the preservation of beauty spots in Scotland; and what instruments he has for doing this.

Mr. Noble

Local planning authorities have powers under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Acts to safeguard beauty spots. In June last year I invited local planning authorities to define areas of great landscape value in their development plans and to let me have a progress report by the end of December. The response has been encouraging.
