§ 37. Mr. DonohoeTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what further consideration he has given to the wind-up programme for Irvine development corporation.
§ Mr. StewartThe consultation exercise on the making of wind-up orders for Irvine, Cumbernauld and Livingston development corporations has now been completed. After giving careful consideration to the responses received, I have now made wind-up orders for all three corporations. These orders will come into effect on 1 January 1994 and will provide for the wind-up of the corporations to commence on 1 January 1994 and be completed by 31 December 1996. They also include provision for the revocation of the corporations' special development orders on 31 March 1996 with protection to preserve the effect of any certificate of authorised development for a further period of five years.
