Mr. Robert AinsworthTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to alter the obligation to reclassify roads used as public paths as byways open to all traffic if vehicular rights are shown ever to have existed. [24962]
§ Mr. ClappisonWe have no plans to alter the obligation to reclassify RUPPs as BOATs where vehicular rights exist. However, as the Government announced in the rural White Paper, Cm 3016, we intend to discuss with interested parties the issue of restricting the use of byways by motorised vehicles.
