§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the dates and locations of(a) national and (b) regional training courses on wildlife and landscape conservation that have been held for Agricultural Development Advisory Service officers in 1990; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GummerNational and regional training courses on landscape and wildlife conservation held in 1990 for Agricultural Development and Advisory Service advisers were as follows:
Location Date National courses Worcestershire February London March Shropshire June Shropshire September Shropshire September Shropshire November Regional courses Yorkshire May Yorkshire May Worcestershire May Warwickshire June Warwickshire June Somerset June West Sussex July Dyfed September Cambridgeshire November This programme of training courses proved sufficient in practice to ensure that all ADAS officers received appropriate training in landscape and wildlife conservation. For this reason two of the proposed regional training courses referred to in an earlier answer to the hon. Member did not take place.
