HL Deb 18 December 1986 vol 483 c344WA
Lord Melchett

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Who the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Scottish Office considers has been responsible for "outside and ignorant interference" in the decisions made by the Scottish Office to allow the extraction of peat from the Duich Moss Site of Special Scientific Interest in Islay.

Lord Glenarthur

I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the noble Lord on 30th October.
