HC Deb 27 May 1982 vol 24 c401W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what area of the Berwyn Mountains has been excluded from the site of special scientific interest in this area.

Mr. Michael Roberts

An area of about 9,000 acres within the Berwyn Mountains was notified as a site of special scientific interest in 1957. I understand that the Nature Conservancy Council intends to notify a further area of approximately 27,000 acres as a site of special scientific interest in that locality. In that event, approximately 17,000 acres within the Berwyn Mountains area would not be included.
