HC Deb 11 July 1991 vol 194 cc416-7W
Mr. Morley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether Thorne moor has been designated under the Ramsar convention.

Mr. Baldry

[holding answer 5 July 1991]: No. The former Nature Conservancy Council identified Thorne—and Hatfield—moor as a potential Ramsar site but the Government have not received any formal recommendations from English Nature.
