New Forest National Park (Hansard, 23 January 2003)

HC Deb 23 January 2003 vol 398 c434W 434W

§ Dr. Julian Lewis
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what her estimate is of the cost of the public inquiry into the creation of a New Forest National Park. [91695]

§ Alun Michael
Defra has allocated £1.2 million for the costs to the Countryside Agency and Planning Inspectorate of the New Forest National Park inquiry. We do not expect an overspend. Other parties at the inquiry are bearing their own costs.
