HC Deb 20 December 1974 vol 883 c663W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money was spent on reclamation under the Operation Eyesore programme up to the end of February 1974: and how much will be spent in the year since that date.

Mr. John Silkin

Under the Operation Eyesore scheme, projects to a total value of just under £37 million were approved in England. It was a condition of the scheme that work had to be completed by 30th September 1973. New approvals were discontinued in May 1973. The programme was therefore over some months before February 1974.
