§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Transport what arrangements for co-ordination of policy exist between his Department and the Department of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in matters relating to the environment and conservation.
§ Mr. RidleyThe arrangements for policy co-ordination on these matters are those usual between Government Departments. Co-ordination on the environmental and conservation aspects of trunk road and motorway schemes is particularly facilitated by the system of joint regional offices for the Departments of the Environment and Transport. If the hon. Member has any matter especially in mind, perhaps he would write to me.
