HC Deb 15 June 1965 vol 714 c55W
Mr. Merlyn Rees

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government to what extent the regional areas of his Department differ from the areas of the regional planning boards; and what plans he has for correcting any discrepancies.

Mr. Crossman

There are no differences between the regional areas of my Department and the areas of the regional planning boards. At present, my Department have regional offices in Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham. Two more, which will complete the series, will be opened within the next few weeks at Bristol and Nottingham.
