HC Deb 11 June 1975 vol 893 c180W
36. Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total number of conservation area advisory committees notified to him as having been set up by 1st April 1975 in accordance with paragraph 50 of Circular 147/74; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kaufman

Not all authorities have yet supplied the information required in Circular 147/74 but my right hon. Friend has been notified of 103 conservation area advisory committees. It would be inappropriate in present circumstances to urge local authorities to take action which would involve extra expenditure, even though this would be marginal.
