HC Deb 15 November 1967 vol 754 cc148-9W
Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs when his consultants are going to report upon Humberside developments.

Mr. Alan Williams

The assessment of Humberside as a possible area for accommodating a large additional population is being carried out by the Central planning unit within the Government service attached to the Department of Economic Affairs. As already foreshadowed in the answer given to my hon. Friend on 24th October last, the Unit's findings will not be available to the Government until sometime next year.—[Vol. 751, c.441.]
