§ Mr. Kenneth Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he intends to issue guidance to local authorities on the management and committee structure that authorities should set up in each county in connection with the Community Land Bill; and what form that guidance will take.
§ Mr. John SilkinAuthorities will be required under the Bill to ensure that the arrangements they agree in their land acquisition and management schemes foster close co-operation in achieving planning goals and the efficient use of existing staff. I am not aware they need any specific guidance from me on their management and committee structure.
