§ Lord Brougham and Vauxasked Her Majesty's Government:
When they will be sending further candidate Special Areas of Conservation to the European Commission under the EC Habitats Directive.
Earl FerrersAs indicated in my right honourable friend the Secretary of State's written reply to my honourable friend the Member for Taunton on 20 June 1995, 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:
