§ Mr. Laurance Reedasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he has taken to publicise the grants available under the Requisitioned Land and 33W War Works Act, 1945, and to encourage local authorities to submit schemes to rid themselves of military eyesores.
§ Mr. Graham PageLocal authorities may be expected to be aware of this longstanding provision. My right hon. Friend is considering whether any further steps should be taken to encourage the removal of eyesores generally in the countryside.
§ Mr. Laurance Reedasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authorities in England in 1971 availed themselves of the 100 per cent. Exchequer grant payable under the Requisitioned Land and War Works Act, 1945, to remove eyesores of military origin; and what were the total payments.
§ Mr. Graham PagePayments by the Department of the Environment totalling £15,749 were made to 15 local authorities in 1971.
