Mary Creagh
I am happy to write to the hon. Lady in great detail and at great length, but it is not something I can explain in 20 seconds.
Phil Brickell (Bolton West) (Lab)
Following last month’s Supreme Court ruling about wild camping on Dartmoor, will the Secretary of State confirm whether he believes that responsible wild camping should be permitted in the other national parks?
Mary Creagh
We were delighted by the Supreme Court judgment on Dartmoor wild camping and we understand the calls to expand it. However, we have no plans to extend it, as it does need to be balanced with landowner rights and habitat protection.
