§ Mr. Raisonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the titles and numbers of directives issued by circular from his Department involving local authorities in additional expenditure since March 1974.
§ Mr. CroslandI have more than 180 circulars to local authorities since March 1974. Few of these circulars have contained directives, and it is not possible to estimate how much local authorities would have spent if they had followed the advice given in them.
