HC Deb 23 February 1987 vol 111 c51W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in the light of his statement on designating additional environmentally sensitive areas, he will now include the Test valley.

Mr. Jopling

In my statement I said that we would build on the existing shortlist from the Countryside Commission and Nature Conservancy Council. The Test valley is on that shortlist and I shall therefore give careful consideration to the case for designating the area.
