HC Deb 04 July 1968 vol 767 c272W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he is taking to protect farmers in national park areas from the high instance of trespass by visitors.

Mr. George Thomas

It is for the farmers themselves to take action at common law against acts of trespass. But there are protective measures which local planning authorities may take under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, 1949 as extended by the Countryside Act, 1968.
