§ Mr. Harveyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he has yet reached a decision on the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Designation Order made by the Countryside Commission on 7 June 1984.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsI have today confirmed the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Designation Order as submitted by the Countryside Commission. This proposal attracted the attention of a broad range of interests in and around the area and my decision was taken only after I had fully considered the representations made both for and against the designation and visited the area.
