HC Deb 18 December 1990 vol 183 c116W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he intends to approve derelict land grant for the purposes of desilting Lymm dam in Cheshire.

Mr. Yeo

No. The dam in its present state is attractive, open to public access and provides a natural habitat. Desilting it cannot be regarded as high in regional priorities.
