§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what assessment he has made of the resource needs of Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution for integrated pollution control.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyPreliminary assessment of the resources necessary for integrated pollution control suggested that the net increase solely attributable to integration would be in the order of three additional 381W inspectors and two support staff. We expect there to be a temporary increase in the workload on the inspectorate whilst the new system is introduced. We will continue to keep under review the objectives of the inspectorate and the level of resources required to fulfil its functions.
§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give an up to date list of the present offices of Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution, together with the addresses and telephone numbers of the new regional offices and outstations.

A three region structure is being developed covering the north, south west and south east, in each of which there will be a regional headquarters' office.
