HC Deb 31 January 1979 vol 961 cc437-8W
37. Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about progress on discussions on the review of footpaths.

Mr. Marks

We expect shortly to send to interested bodies a consultation document dealing in some detail with the problems to which the present procedures for reviewing and updating definitive maps of public rights of way are giving rise, and setting out the Department's proposals for overcoming them.
