I am advised that, while my Department has received no correspondence on the GLAS scheme, it has had some informal contacts with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine on the matter. My Department will consult with that Department to clarify and consider the full implications of the GLAS scheme for grazing arrangements on all National Park lands owned by my Department.
