§ Mr. JackTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to ensure that local authorities follow the current contents of PPG 6; and what is his Department's policy towards PPG 6. [249]
§ Mr. CabornThe Government is concerned to ensure that development of key town centre uses, whether shopping, offices, leisure or other appropriate uses, actively assists the regeneration of our town and city centres, as well as key district centres. I am keen to see our policy applied firmly and consistently, taking due account of local circumstances. We are also currently considering our Response to the Environment Committee's recent report on Shopping Centres.
