Abstract
One of the better sayings of 1971 was Mr. Peter Walker’s declaration, made more than once, that the first priority of his department is to improve the quality of the environment. It was rather more than a thumping statement of the obvious, for the setting up of the Department of the Environment by the amalgamation of an assortment of Ministries dealing with local government, planning, housing, and transport seemed a somewhat blatant bit of bandwagonmanship at the time.
