HC Deb 16 January 1989 vol 145 cc24-5W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total area of land disposed of by each of the water authorities in England since 1983.

Mr. Moynihan

[holding answer 12 January 1989]: I have nothing to add to the information which I gave to the hon. Member in my reply of 12 December at column 415.

Mr. Pachett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will be in a position to provide information on water authority land which is designated as(a) of special scientific interest, (b) national parks and (c) areas of outstanding beauty; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

[holding answer 13 January 1989]: I have no plans to make such information available. I refer the hon. Member to the recent publication by the Countryside Commission, "Sites of Conservation and Recreation value currently in the ownership of Water Authorities", which provides most of the information he seeks.
