§ Mr. Clifton-BrownTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the powers local government officials have to enter land without prior notification.
§ Mr. BaldryThis question cannot be answered without disproportionate cost. Such powers of entry are, however, conferred only in cases where it may be necessary for officials to enter land to deal with an emergency in a situation in which it is not possible to contact the owner or his agent in advance.
