§ 66. Sir William van Straubenzeeasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received from the Nature Conservancy Council or other sources as to the declining population of the crested newt.
§ Mr. WaldegraveNone directly. I am however aware of some cases where the British Herpetological Society is in liaison with the owners of sites over deferring work so as to allow newts to be relocated.
