HC Deb 03 May 1960 vol 622 cc58-9W
49. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he will state the present policy of Her Majesty's Government regarding new building in the green belt in Essex.

Mr. H. Brooke

As regards the approved green belt, my policy is in line with that stated in the county development plan and in a circular issued by my predecessor in August, 1955. The advice given in that circular, a copy of which I am sending to my hon. Friend, applies also to the additions to the green belt which the county council, as local planning authority, is now proposing.
