§ Mr. GummerAs indicated in my written reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Taunton (Mr. Nicholson) on 20 June 1995,Official Report, column 140–43, a second list of candidate special areas of conservation would be sent to the European Commission once points raised in the public consultation launched on 31 March had been considered and satisfactorily resolved. That list, which consists of 75 sites, including a first tranche of 10 marine sites, was sent to the Commission on 8 January.
Further sites will be forwarded to the Commission when the remaining points raised during consultation have been fully considered. Particular attention is being given to addressing general concerns raised by consultees about the possible designation of marine sites.
The list of sites sent to the Commission is as follows:
