HC Deb 25 May 1971 vol 818 cc129-30W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the total cost of preparation and publication of the Severnside Study.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The work of preparing the Severnside Study was carried out by officials attached part-time to the Central Unit for Environmental Planning. It would not be practicable to separate the cost of this work from that of their other duties. I am informed by Her Majesty's Stationery Office that the cost of printing and publishing the Study was £11,995.
