None.

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what communications he has received from the European Commission on the future of the Cardiff bay site of special scientific interest; and if he will place the relevant correspondence in the Library.

The Government have had various contacts with the Commission about the issue of Cardiff bay. In accordance with long-standing convention, the substance of the correspondence on this matter is confidential.

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received concerning the complaint by the World Wide Fund for Nature to the European Commission in relation to the future of the Cardiff bay site of special scientific interest; and if he will place these representations in the Library.

I have received a number of representations about the complaint by the World Wide Fund for Nature to the EC Commission. Some appear to have been inspired by the fund's "Factsheet" of September 1993 which contained acknowledged errors.

Mr. Morgan
