HC Deb 23 March 1965 vol 709 c48W
98. Mr. Buck

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he proposes to take to co-ordinate the planning and development of the Dedham Vale area.

Mr. MacColl

This is primarily a matter for the East Suffolk and Essex County Councils as the local planning authorities. Both are very conscious of the character of the Vale and they are in touch with each other.

99. Mr. Buck

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why he declined to receive a deputation from the Dedham Vale Society or to receive a petition organised by that society and signed by some 15,000 persons.

Mr. MacColl

I, on behalf of my right hon. Friend, received this deputation yesterday.
