HC Deb 25 January 1979 vol 961 c231W
Mr. Michael Spicer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are his plans for rationalising footpaths.

Mr. Marks

In my reply to the hon. Member on 9 January 1978 I referred to the study that the Countryside Commission was undertaking on the modification of the public path network. I will consider what action would be appropriate after I have received the Commission's report and recommendations which are expected shortly, and the views thereon of other interested organisations.
