HC Deb 27 October 1975 vol 898 cc370-1W
Mr. Jim Lester

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue a circular of guidance to local authorities who may seek major departures from existing draft green belt proposals in advance of structure plans being formulated.

Mr. John Silkin

I am not aware of the need for further general guidance but if there are particular problems in any area I shall be glad to try to help planning authorities who seek guidance on the subject.
