HC Deb 12 July 1973 vol 859 cc408-9W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects a definitive footpath map to be available covering Bedfordshire.

Mr. Graham Page

It is expected that hearings in respect of the outstanding appeals relating to the draft map will be held before the end of this year. The provisional map will then be published, after which owners and occupiers of land affected may challenge the inclusion of paths in the map by application to the Crown court. When any such appeals have been resolved the definitive map will be published.
