HC Deb 18 May 1965 vol 712 cc194-5W
43. Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will, with the minimum delay, define the limits of an extended metropolitan green belt.

Mr. Crossman

The local planning authorities concerned were asked to review their proposals for extending the metropolitan green belt in the light of the South-East Study. They cannot complete this work until the Government have announced their conclusions on the South-East Study itself, since the green belt boundary has to be decided in conjunction with the allocation of land for housing and other needs. Meanwhile discussions are proceeding with each of the local planning authorities.
