Mr. Hardy

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish his reply to the letter he has received from the Ramblers Association dated 13 May on the subject of planning precedents and opencast mining.

Mr. Trippier

An official reply was sent to the Ramblers' Association on 19 May: publication is a matter for the association. I have no objection to its doing so.
