HC Deb 13 July 1979 vol 970 cc332-3W
Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he intends to place the countryside Bill before Parliament; and whether it will be similar to his predecessor's Bill.

Mr. Monro

I refer the hon. Member to my reply on Friday 25 May to the hon. Member for Manchester, Gorton (Mr. Marks). These matters are continuing to receive close attention.
