HL Deb 21 June 1990 vol 520 c1164WA
Lord Addington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they consulted members of the Nature Conservancy Council before announcing their response to the House of Lords Select Committee report on the Nature Conservancy Council.

Lord Hesketh

Regular discussions with the Nature Conservancy Council have encompassed the issues dealt with in the Select Committee's report. The Government were therefore able to take account of the NCC's views in framing their response. The response accepted almost all the recommendations made by the committee. Information available to the Select Committee included detailed evidence submitted by the NCC.
