§ Mr. Morganasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether, in view of considerable local opposition to his proposal to designate 53,000 acres of the Berwyn 105W range as a site of special scientific interest for the benefit of the Nature Conservancy Council in Wales, he will reconsider the proposal generally with the aim of reducing substantially the amount of land required for this purpose.
§ Mr. Michael Roberts: We have made no such proposal. Under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, the notification of sites of special scientific interest is the responsibility of the Nature Conservancy Council.
