About £5,000.

Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the latest position regarding the Saudi Arabian project being sought by the British Urban Development Services Unit; and whether this or any other commissions have so far been obtained by it.

Mr. Guy Barnett

It has not proved possible to reach agreement with the Saudi Arabian Government on this project. Commissions obtained by the British Urban Development Services Unit have been: a study into the location of industrial estates in Lebanon; consultant services and provision of a study tour in the United Kingdom for the Saudi Arabian Royal Commission for Yanbu and Jubail; and a study for the Nigerian Federal Capital Development Authority.
