§ Mr. Robert B. JonesWe consulted extensively during the early part of last year, and our conclusions were announced to the House on 18 July 1994 by my right hon. Friend the then Minister for Housing, Inner Cities and Construction. Since then my Department has sought views on certain matters of detail from a number of key organisations interested in this subject. The policy remains as announced last July, and we have no plans for any further general consultation.
