Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a further statement concerning the rarity of otters in Wales in general and in mid-Wales in particular.

A joint Working Group of the Nature Conservancy Council and the Society for the Promotion of Nature Conservation is assessing the status of the otter in Great Britain. The group is hoping to complete its draft report next month.
