§ Mr. Hall-Davisasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what examination he has made of the level of expenditure by local authorities and central Government on the removal of 468W to prepare a plan to form the basis of future development, make the best use of a new Calder Valley road and to reserve suitable sites for industrial development.
Finally, as the House knows, the problems of "grey" areas such as North East Lancashire are being studied by the Committee on Intermediate Areas under Sir Joseph Hunt. When the Committee's report is published the Government intend to hold discussions with the local authorities in North East Lancashire on the best way of meeting their needs in the light of the programme for the development of the new town.
