Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is still willing to receive and consider comments on his proposals on tent camping and touring caravans.

Mr. Denis Howell:

Yes. I have decided to extend the closing date for receipt of comments on my proposals to 31st December 1978.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received from the Council of the Principality of Wales concerning his consultative document on touring caravans and tents; and what steps he proposes taking in the light of the response to his enquiries.

Mr. Denis Howell:

The Council for the Principality has forwarded to me detailed and wide-ranging comments from 14 district councils in Wales. I have sent copies of these to my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wajes. Representatives of all local authority associations, including district councils in Wales, will shortly be invited to a meeting at official level to discuss their views on the consultation document.
