HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 cc343-4W
Mr. Wellbeloved

asked the Secretary of State for Local Government and Regional Planning what progress has been made by the South-East Joint Planning Team in developing future regional strategies; and to what extent the work of the Roskill Commission on the Third London Airport will be affected in its regional planning aspects.

Mr. Crosland

The South East Joint Planning Teams have today published a progress report on their work to date. I am sending the hon. Member a copy and placing copies in the Library. On the basis of the work done so far, there appears to be no fatal flaw from a broad regional planning point of view to any of the short-listed sites now under consideration by the Roskill Commission.
