HC Deb 22 July 1991 vol 195 c388W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy to estimate the future cost to British business of each of the European Commission's environmental proposals currently under consideration.

Mr. Baldry

The costs to British business of implementing EC legislation are always a major factor in our consideration of new proposals by the European Commission. They are covered in the explanatory memoranda which this Department submits to Parliament on each new Commission proposal.
