Dear Ms Davis,

Environmental Impact Regulations 2004

“For information about biodiversity conservation within the HM Prison estate.

Please could you provide:

a) a list of HM Prison land which has a statutory nature

conservation designation (e.g. SSSI, SAC) together with details of

biodiversity conservation work carried out by HM Prison service at

these sites

b) a list of other sites at which HM Prison service is carrying out

biodiversity conservation work, with details of the work being

carried out at these.”

.

We had anticipated being able to provide you with a response by 19 October 2008 but I regret to say this has not been possible. We now aim to respond by 19 November 2008 if not sooner.

May I ask you to accept my apologies for the delay in providing you with a reply and thank you for your continued patience in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Dave Norris
