HC Deb 21 June 1972 vol 839 cc109-10W
65. Mr. Critchley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has for the removal of defence works of the period 1940–42.

Mr. Graham Page

The removal of wartime defence works may attract Exchequer grant and, in assisted areas, may come within Operation Eyesore. I shall shortly be consulting the local authority associations on a proposal that local authorities should draw up a programme for the removal of disfigurements in the countryside.
