§ Mr. Stephen Rossasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will ensure that the code of 600W guidance on heather and grass burning, when published receives the widest possible circulation, particularly in the upland areas of the country.
§ Mrs. FennerI intend to publish the code of guidance on heather and grass burning as quickly as possible after it has been finalised and make it available in all parts of the country, including the upland areas. In addition, I am arranging for a free leaflet to be issued, setting out the essential "do's and don'ts" of heather and grass burning, as agreed with the working party. This leaflet will encourage everyone who may wish to carry out heather and grass burning, whether under licence or during the unrestricted period, to study the code as a whole. A copy of the leaflet will be supplied as a matter of course to all those applying for a licence.
