Protection Of Sites Of Special Scientific Interest

EDM number 999 in 1994-95, proposed by Harold Elletson on 19/04/1995.

That this House expresses its concern over continuing damage to hundreds of the most valuable wildlife sites in the United Kingdom; welcomes the Wildlife Bill, drafted by Friends of the Earth, launched by former senior figures from the Nature Conservancy Council and introduced in the House by a cross-party group of honourable Members, which will address weaknesses in the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 which permit damage to hundreds of officially designated sites of special scientific interest; and hopes that time will be found to pass the Bill or to deal with this matter in the current Environment Bill.

This motion has been signed by a total of 254 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
