HC Deb 13 July 1976 vol 915 c135W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the cost to public funds of the Dartmoor inquiry into the alternative use of land for the Army in the West Country.

Mr. Denis Howell

The report of the inquiry is still awaited and the work and costs involved are therefore not yet complete. However, since more than one Government Department or body in receipt of public funds has been involved it will not be possible to supply the information which the hon. Member seeks without disproportionate effort.
