HC Deb 08 December 1983 vol 50 cc207-8W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received regarding the working of circular 22/80 from individuals and organisations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Macfarlane

From time to time we receive representations about the working of circular 22/80. Such representations have been taken into account in preparing the draft circulars on particular aspects of development control which have been issued in recent months. We shall continue to monitor the effectiveness of the circular as a general framework for the development control system.
