Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further guidance his Ministry is giving to local authorities and the water authorities over the use of agricultural land for purposes other than agricultural production.

Mr. Bishop

I would refer the hon. Member to my replies to the hon. Member for Isle of Ely (Mr. Freud) on Thursday 1st May and my hon. Friend the Member for Gloucestershire, West (Mr. Watkinson) on Wednesday 14th May [Vol. 891, c. 220 and Vol. 892, c. 107].

These apply to all non-agricultural development of agricultural land including that by statutory water undertakers.
