MINISTRY OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES (Hansard, 20 December 1966)

HC Deb 20 December 1966 vol 738 c291W 291W

§ Q9. Mr. John Lee
asked the Prime Minister whether he will reconsider the decision to close down the Ministry of Land and Natural Resources, in view of the need for a single Department to supervise such matters of national concern as land reclamation, subsidence, soil erosion and coastal erosion.

§ The Prime Minister
No. The integration of the Ministry of Land and Natural Resources with the Ministry of Housing should help, rather than hinder, the objective my hon. Friend has in mind.
