§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why the number of submissions received on the proposals in Cmnd. 9063 since the closing date of the consultation period is not readily available; and if he will now take steps to have them counted.
§ Mr. WaldegraveWe have not distinguished between submissions received before and after 31 January because we have agreed to take into account, so far as possible, any views put to us after the end of the consultation period.
