HC Deb 04 March 1987 vol 111 c633W
36. Mr. Rogers

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what resources he plans to devote to monitoring soil erosion in 1987–88.

Mr. Waldegrave

The Department is not planning to devote any resources specifically to monitoring soil erosion in 1987–88.

I understand the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food will be devoting £27,000 to monitoring soil erosion in 1987–88. Officials in the Department and the Ministry are in touch on this work.
