§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what consideration he has given to the demand expressed by the Annual General Meeting of the Youth Hostels Association, London Region, a copy of which has been 47W sent to him, for an assured wide belt of continuous countryside round the existing built-up area of London; and when he will state definitively the limits of the Metropolitan Green Belt.

Member a copy of the letter sent to the Association on my behalf. On the second part of the Question I would refer to the reply I gave to the hen. Member for Sevenoaks (Sir J. Rodgers) on 18th May.
