HC Deb 08 February 1978 vol 943 c610W
47. Mr. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is satisfied with the results of his Department's policy towards the extraction of sand and gravel since the publication of the Stevens and Verney reports.

Mr. Marks

Policies for sand and gravel working are being reviewed in the light of various studies including the two reports. My right hon. Friend intends publishing a response to the reports later this year.
