HC Deb 27 March 1974 vol 871 cc130-1W
Mr. Mills

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the Sandford Report will be published; and whether the Government will make known its views and any proposed action as soon as possible in view of the difficulties in the South-West of England over national parks.

Mr. Denis Howell

The report is being printed, and I hope it will be published very shortly. After publication, the Government will need to allow time for comment on the report before deciding what action they should take on its recommendations.
