Mr. Huyman:

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he is aware that, in spite of recent undertakings by Service Departments that stricter measures would be taken to clear live ammunition and other litter and to mitigate damage by Service activities in the Dartmoor National Park, there have been a number of cases in the last few months of unexploded missiles, litter dumps and damage; and if, in the national interest, he will now seek an alternative training area of less recreational use and value than the Dartmoor National Park.
