of the principles enunciated in the statement made by the Minister of State for Town and Country Planning in the House on 31 March 1949 on planning applications in national parks, known as the Silkin test, when considering the appeal for planning permission by Mercury Communications Limited to construct a telecommunications mast at Arncliffe wood, Beacon hill in the north York moors national park; and if he will make a statement.

The statement to which the hon. Member refers related to mineral working in national parks. Our policy on this was set out in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Oxford, East (Mr. Norris) on 9 April 1987, at column 393–94. On other types of development, our policy is that development control policies should be more stringent in national parks than in the countryside generally. This is reflected in the relevant structure plans which have been approved by my right hon. Friend and which, with the general policy, must he taken into account in individual cases wherever they are material considerations. The appeal to which the hon. Member refers will be determined on its merits, having regard to all the material considerations.
