78. Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action has been taken to implement the report of the committee on the Common Trench.

My Department is co-operating in three New Town development projects and several local authority large-scale, low-rise, high-density housing schemes, where the principle of co-ordinating the installation of underground services in a common trench on a building site is being applied.
