HC Deb 05 July 1966 vol 731 c40W
50 and 56. Mr. Fowler

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) what information about the delay in the publication of the consultants' report on the possible extension of the designated area of Dawley New Town was given by his Department to the Press, before it was given to the House or to the local authorities affected;

(2) why the consultants' report on the possible extension of Dawley New Town will not now be ready in July, as was originally expected.

Mr. Crossman

The consultants' report on possible development at Wellington/Oakengates is being slightly delayed so that it may benefit from extensive population and economic investigations now going on. My Department has not given the Press any information about this delay.
