	House of Lords - Berkeley v. Secretary of State For The Environment and Others
		It is common ground that the Secretary of State's failure to consider the question cannot in law be justified or excused on the ground that the outcome (namely the grant of planning permission on the terms of the actual grant) would have been the same even if he had considered it.
		She was one of the people who wrote to the Secretary of State urging him to call in the application and the terms of her letter indicate that she had seen the officers' report to the planning sub-committee.
		Elvin Q.C., who appeared as counsel for the Secretary of State, accepted that the Court of Appeal was right and that the failure of both the planning authority and the Secretary of State to consider whether an EIA should be required made the grant of planning permission unlawful.

	House of Lords - Regina v. Secretary of State for the Environment (Original Appellant and Cross-Respondent), Ex Parte ...
		One of the functions of the annual determination by the Secretary of State is to ensure that the HRA is debited with a fair proportion of the interest paid by the local housing authority on its borrowings.
		One of the reasons why the Secretary of State had opposed the second and third submissions by Camden was that to accept them would create too great a disparity between the treatment of Camden and that of other local housing authorities which had been denied special determinations or subsidies in respect of prior year adjustments.
		The Secretary of State contends that the amount of interest to be taken into account is confined to interest payable on the outstanding amount of the council's borrowing during the year in question.

	R. and Plymouth City Airport v. Secretary of State for the Environment exp. Thomas
		Secretaries of State and their advisers may well have to take into account larger questions than simply whether there is a fighting chance of defending the material decision; and even where that is all they do, they are no more immune from error than when they do decide to resist.
		Mr Holgate contends (and the Secretary of State was not disposed to contest) that the Department 'misconstrued' two letters: one from Foot and Bowden, PCAL's solicitors, dated 19 October 1998, and one from the Ministry of Defence dated 26 October 1998.
		In our judgment, as in that of Dyson J, the Secretary of State was fully entitled to conclude, as he did in paragraph 7 of his decision letter, that "a hardstanding area was necessary for the helicopters to operate from the airport" and that this was accordingly the purpose of the alterations.
