HC Deb 12 December 1995 vol 268 c583W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to introduce more severe penalties for the destruction of sites of special scientific interest. [4727]

Mr. Clappison

None, although we have agreed in principle to consider further powers for requiring the restoration of a site's special interest. The level of fines is a matter for my right hon. and learned Friend the Home Secretary.
