HC Deb 18 March 1968 vol 761 c20W
Mr. William Edwards

asked 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 Hughes

The 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.
