§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment on what date he received the Anglian coastal study; and if he will now place a copy in the Library.
§ Mr. MacleanI have been asked to reply.
The initial phases of this study are complete and resulting data has been made available to interested parties. The remaining phase which should be completed next summer concentrates on field measurement which will provide valuable data for the detailed design of coastal defence. This information which will be the main output of the third phase will be stored in detabases managed by the Anglian region of the National Rivers Authority. The information will be made available to coastal defence authorities in the region and to this Department.
