HC Deb 10 March 1971 vol 813 cc117-8W
110. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects a start to be made on the special study recommended in paragraph 95 of the First Report of the Royal Commission on Environment Pollution; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

Economic techniques are already used in assessing pollution problems but I agree that further studies are desirable and this is one reason why I have substantially increased the grant to the Centre for Environmental Studies.
