I am glad to be able to tell my hon. Friend that an increase in the staff of the National Parks Commission has been authorised and the first of the new staff are already at work. They will help to speed up the present work of the Commission. I am also considering what increase should be made in the Commission's technical planning staff.

I have asked my officials to review the financial procedures to see whether they can be simplified so as to help the National Parks Commission and the Park Planning Authorities.

The National Parks information services have been increased and any further proposals which the National Parks Commission may put forward will be sympathetically considered.
