HC Deb 07 February 1983 vol 36 cc285-6W
Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the total number of (a) circulars and (b) circular letters sent by his Department to local authorities in England in each year since 1975.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The numbers of such issues in the years 1975 to 1981 were included, in so far as the information is readily available, in my right hon. Friend's answer to an earlier question by the hon. Member on 30 July 1982.—[Vol. 28, c. 821–22.] Twenty-eight numbered published circulars and 31 circular letters, together with 17 administrative memoranda—guidance notes, reports and so on—were issued in 1982.
