HC Deb 18 February 1985 vol 73 c333W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will consider excluding from rate capping calculations the cost of the design and supervision of land reclamation schemes.

Mr. Waldegrave

It would be open to an authority designated for selective rate limitation to seek a redetermination of the expenditure level proposed for it on these grounds if it so wished. My right hon. Friend would consider any such application carefully.
