§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list those wetland areas that would be affected by a national management plan for the habitats of redshank and dunlin requested by the European Environment Commissioner.
§ Mr. Atkins[holding answer 28 April 1994]:The great majority of inter-tidal mud flats in United Kingdom estuaries provide over-wintering habitat for redshank and dunlin and, as such, would be taken into account in measures to maintain a favourable conservation status for these species.
