HC Deb 10 July 2002 vol 388 c1000W
Keith Vaz

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many applications for planning permission for out-of-town shopping centres have been agreed since 7 January. [66326]

Mr. McNulty

Local planning authorities provide quarterly statistical returns of planning decisions made, but details, such as their location, are not held centrally and therefore could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
