HC Deb 16 June 1967 vol 748 cc150-1W
Mr. Paget

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he intends to designate Northampton as a new town.

Mr. Greenwood

I am issuing today a draft of an Order under the New Towns Act, 1965. I shall then receive objections, arrange a public inquiry and consider the report of the inspector before taking a final decision on designation. I am sending the hon. Member copies of the relevant documents.
