§ Mr. Reynoldsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many local planning authorities have all or part of their area within the West Midlands special review area; how many of them have submitted land use maps to him under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947; and how many of these have so far been accepted by him.
§ Mr. BevinsNine local planning authorities have all or part of their area within the West Midlands special review area. All have sent in land use maps, but these maps are prepared for the survey required in connection with the development plan and do not form part of the plan itself. They are, therefore, not submitted for my right hon. Friend's approval. The development plans of seven of the authorities concerned have been approved.
