HC Deb 08 March 1971 vol 813 c51W
Mr. McLaren

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether his Department has yet been made an authorised Department for the purposes of the Crown Proceedings Act, 1947.

Mr. Peter Walker

The last list of authorised Government Departments that was issued under Section 17 of the Crown Proceedings Act, 1947, did not specify the Department of the Environment. The next issue of the list is expected shortly and the new Department will be included.
