§ Mr. MackinlayTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) for what reason figure 19 on page 13 of the Environment Agency's document, "Environmental Snapshot for the East of England", does not include landfill sites in Basildon and Thurrock; and if he will make a statement; [123385]
(2) what the cost was of the production of the Environment Agency's document, "Environmental Snapshot for the East of England"; and who its author was; [123271]
(3) for what reason figure 1 on page 2 of the Environment Agency's document, "Environmental Snapshot for the East of England", does not include the Unitary Borough of Thurrock. [123270]
§ Mr. MullinThe omission of the Unitary Borough of Thurrock and the landfill sites in Basildon and Thurrock was an oversight, due to an editorial error. This has already been brought to the attention of the Environment Agency by local government and the Agency will amend the snapshot when it publishes the second edition in September 2000.
The cost of production of the "Environmental Snapshot for the East of England" was £4,470. The report was produced by Robert Runcie, Regional Director of the Environment Agency (Anglian Region).
