HC Deb 15 July 1965 vol 716 c95W
36. Mr. Boston

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs whether he will now make a statement on the progress of his review of the South-East Study.

37. Sir J. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs whether he is aware of concern at the delay in announcing Her Majesty's Government's intention as regards the South-East plan; when he expects to be able to publish the results of the review of the South-East Study which was prepared by the previous Administration; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. William Rodgers

The review requires a complex analysis of statistical information which has only become available since the South-East Study was published. My right hon. Friend will make a statement when this work has been completed.
