§ Mr. Sedgemoreasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will publish figures comparing his Department's county household projections with the household projections contained in 755W county structure plans; and if he will make a statement on any differences between these two sets of figures.
§ Mr. ArmstrongThe Department's county household projections and those in structure plans are readily available. They are based on different sources, methods and assumptions. For example, when developing structure plans, counties might take different views on migration and household formation than those contained in centrally prepared projections. Because of the technical nature of the subject I propose writing in greater detail to my hon. Friend.
