§ Mr. YeoTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the implications of a right to roam over enclosed land in Scotland for the policing of the right to roam along the England-Scotland border. [123019]
§ Mr. Mullin[holding answer 22 May 2000]: I have been asked to reply.
Responsibility for the proposed new right of access in Scotland rests with the Scottish Executive. Although the Scottish proposals are still at an early stage, I understand officials from the Countryside Agency and Scottish Natural Heritage have recently discussed possible cross-border issues.
