HC Deb 30 November 1967 vol 755 cc154-5W
45. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will introduce legislation to provide for free access by bathers to all foreshores.

Mr. Skeffington

No. Under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, 1949, foreshores are already included in the definition of open country to which local planning authorities can provide access for the public by agreement, by order or by acquisition.
