§ Mr. Worsleyasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he will publish the pilot studies undertaken by consultants on the implication of conservation policies for a number of historic towns, including the city of York.
§ Mr. GreenwoodMy predecessor appointed the four consultants in the spring of 1966, and they were to report by October, 1967. But the large number of maps and illustrations which the consultants thought it right to include in their reports could not be ready by that date.
The material in the reports was submitted in stages between November, 1967 and the summer of 1968, and was passed to the Stationery Office as it was submitted. I understand that the Stationery Office hope to be ready to publish early next year.
