§ Mr. Andrew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many cases of long-term damage to sites of special scientific interest were reported over the past three-years; and how many of them were due to works initiated or approved by a public department.
§ Mr. MoynihanDetails of damage to SSSIs, have, since 1983–84, been published in the Nature Conservancy Council's annual report. However, the information is not available in the precise form requested. It is currently being compiled by the NCC, and I shall write to the hon. Member as soon as it is available.
