§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if, pursuant to his answer of 20 June,Official Report, column 70, he will make copies of the decision letters available in the Library when he directs that environmental assessment is, or is not, required.
§ Mr. Moynihan[holding answer 27 July 1989]: Letters containing directions on whether or not environmental assessment is required for particular projects are placed on the appropriate local planning register where they are available for public inspection. My Department is making arrangements under which information about decisions on the need for environmental assessment will be made more widely available by being published in the Journal of Planning and Environment Law. If the hon. Member wishes to see any particular decision letter I would be happy to send it to her.
