HC Deb 29 February 1968 vol 759 cc416-7W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many design contracts approved by him were placed by local authorities in the development areas in the last year for which information is available; and how many of these were placed with design consultants in the development areas.

Mr. MacColl:

I regret that the information is not available since my right hon. Friend does not approve design contracts placed by local authorities.
