HC Deb 05 November 1980 vol 991 c608W
Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what effect the passage of the Local Government, Planning and Land (No. 2) Bill will have on existing safeguards against the development of land within the Metropolitan green belt contained in the Green Belt (London and Home Counties) Act 1938.

Mr. King

None. The provision in schedule 23 to the Bill does not affect the requirements of the Green Belt (London and Home Counties) Act 1938.

Mr. Shersby

Mr. King

Yes. The provision in schedule 23 to the Bill does not affect the requirements of the Green Belt (London and Home Counties) Act 1938.
