HC Deb 07 February 1967 vol 740 cc264-5W
41. Mr. Rowland

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why the green belt between Birmingham and Coventry has not yet been legally designated; and when he expects to make this designation.

Mr. MacColl

The provision of the necessary land to meet current and future housing needs in the West Midlands is still being worked out. While this is so, my right hon. Friend does not feel able finally to approve the green belt, although it is in fact protected by day to day planning control.

52. Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what recent changes he has made in his policy on the green belt.

Mr. MacColl

None.
