HC Deb 19 October 1972 vol 843 c121W
Mr. Parkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give an estimate of the additional costs of pollution control being built into development projects.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Pollution controls are imposed in this country wherever the interests of environmental protection require them. It is seldom possible to identify their specific costs in development or other projects but if my hon. Friend has some particular project in mind, I will be glad to make further inquiries.
