§ Mr. Rankinasked the Lord President of the Council and Minister for Science if he has studied those parts of the Nature Conservancy Report dealing with vandalism and its results; and what special help he will afford this body in an effort to end such behaviour.
§ Mr. HoggOf the references to vandalism in this Report, only one, on page 27, deserves special mention. This refers to damage to the Loch Lomond reserve, and was nearly all caused before the area was declared a reserve. The declaration of the reserve and the posting to the area of a full-time Warden, coupled with the Conservancy's programme of public education, will, I hope, greatly reduce the chance of repetition.
