§ 66. Mr. Stephen Rossasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is satisfied with the provision of industrial land for the construction of starter units by the Development Commission.
§ Sir George YoungYes. In only a few cases has the Development Commission had to abandon intended locations for its starter units because of lack of suitable sites. There has been no unduly adverse effect on programmes as a whole.
The Development Commission look to local authorities in particular to help find possible sites. The preparation of rural development programmes will provide an incentive for the identification of further sites.
