§ Mr. William Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of Wales is within areas designated as a National Park; and what proposals have been made for the extension of this area.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesThe Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire Coast and Brecon Beacons National Parks cover approximately 20 per cent. of Wales. The National Parks Commission are considering the designation of an area of Mid-Wales equal to a further 6 per cent. as another national park, but no proposals have been formally submitted to me.
