§ Mr. FearnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to issue guidelines or increase funding to local authorities in order to establish definitive maps of footpaths and rights of way in their areas.
§ Mr. MoynihanNo. The Department's circular 1/83 on public rights of way already provides comprehensive guidance on these procedures. The allocation of resources 363W for this work is for individual surveying authorities to decide in the light of the relevant circumstances within their area.
