HC Deb 22 May 1972 vol 837 c280W
Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a further statement listing the counties which have yet to finish their initial survey of public footpaths under the Highways Act, 1949 procedure.

Mr. Graham Page

The following county councils in England have not yet finished their initial survey of public footpaths under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, 1949, but definitive maps have been completed for the major parts of these counties:

  • Bedfordshire
  • Cheshire
  • Derbyshire
  • Gloucestershire
  • Lincolnshire (Lindsey)
  • Somerset
  • West Sussex
  • Yorkshire (West Riding)

I regret that the information I gave in reply to a Question by the hon. Member on 28th February, 1972, was not complete.
