HC Deb 18 November 1983 vol 48 c596W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the Countryside Commission's report on the uplands is to be published; and what consultations he proposes about its impact upon upland scenery and wildlife conservation.

Mr. Waldegrave

The Countryside Commission expects to publish this report early in the new year. This will follow extensive consultations by the Commission. My right hon. Friend will consider when he receives the report what further consultations are needed to enable decisions to be reached.
