HC Deb 20 December 1966 vol 738 cc261-2W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what he has done or intends to do in connection with the future residential development of valley bottoms in the Pennines, mentioned in paragraphs 17 and 18 of the First Report of the Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Economic Planning Council.

Mr. MacColl

The Regional Economic Planning Board has already begun a study of the Calder Valley, and will subsequently review the Colne Valley.

In the light of this, further consideration will be given to the suggestion that the valley bottoms should be redeveloped as residential areas.
