Mr. Raison

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the economies which (a) have been introduced this year and (b) are under urgent examination within his Department; and what saving on administration he aims to achieve.

Mr. Crosland

I am examining the implications of the Chancellor's Budget Statement for expenditure on the services for which I am responsible and am not yet in a position to list the precise steps I shall be taking.
