Countryside Stewardship Sites

HC Deb 15 February 1995 vol 254 cc678-9W

Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer of 6 February,Official Report, columns 15–18, if he will name and provide a grid reference for each countryside stewardship site; and if he will indicate those sites where access is available beyond September 2004.

Mr. Atkins

[holding answer 14 February 1995]: A list of the names of countryside stewardship sites has been placed in the House Library. Details of grid references of sites are not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Countryside stewardship agreements are signed for 10 years. Contractual obligations to provide access under current stewardship agreements will not extend beyond September 2004 when the last of these agreements terminate. Existing rights of way are unaffected.
