Administrative / biographical background

In 1976 transport functions were separated from the Department of the Environment and the Department of Transport was created. This led to a reorganisation of the Department of the Environment, but a Departments of the Environment and Transport Common Services organisation was retained between 1976 and 1989 and this file series ECEP may have initially slotted into the Economics and Statistics Department within that function. It appears that the series may have been re-registered from the ESD series in about 1980 into the ECEP series.

The Central Unit on Environmental Pollution (CUEP) was set up in 1970. In 1979, the CUEP was re-named the Central Directorate on Environmental Pollution (CDEP). Between 1979 and 1991 the CDEP divisions underwent a degree of re-organisiation and in 1991 the divisions were split into two new Directorates: the Directorate of Pollution Control and Wastes (DPCW) and the Directorate of Environmental Policy and Analysis (DEPA).
