§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he has taken to ensure that the inspectors who will be making decisions on public path orders and definitive map orders after 28 February are adequately trained to deal with the legal issues involved in the making of such decisions.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneThe inspectors selected to undertake this will receive suitable training. They will also have access as required to specialist advice and guidance on points of law and procedure arising in connection with cases allocated to them for determination.
§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list those definitive maps of public rights of way of which no review has been begun by the surveying authority, and to which sections 53 and 54 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 will apply from 28 February.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneThe county councils and London borough councils listed as follows do not have an outstanding published draft review of their definitive maps and statements. This does not necessarily mean that all the authorities concerned are in a position to exercise the powers at section 53 and 54 of the Act since they may have begun a review but not yet published a draft revised map and statement.
