§ Mr. Hardyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in view of disquiet regarding the treatment of intangible concerns, such as the landscape and wildlife, in cost-benefit appraisals for arterial land drainage schemes, he will establish a committee to produce a framework for the assessment of such intangibles, similar to that produced by the standing advisory committee on trunk road assessment in respect of trunk road proposals.
§ Mrs. FennerI am willing to consider improvements to the assessment of land drainage schemes but I am not convinced that the creation of a further committee would achieve this.
