HC Deb 20 October 1971 vol 823 c120W
43. Mr. Kinsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress he can now report on the granting of access to parts of national parks and the coastline at present occupied by military installations.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The land holdings of the Services and the question of improved access for the public are under consideration by the Defence Lands Committee under the chairmanship of my noble friend, Lord Nugent. In view of the many sites involved and the large number of representations that have been made to the Committee, its deliberations will necessarily take some time.
