HC Deb 21 March 1990 vol 169 c656W
16. Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the minimum area of land that he considers to be viable for environmental assessment; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

The size of a project and the site it occupies are only two of the factors to be taken into account in judging whether a project requires environmental assessment.
