HC Deb 25 March 1969 vol 780 cc242-3W
Mr. David Price

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what changes have been made in his policy regarding a planned intake of population into South Hampshire and the development of South Hampshire as one of a series of counter-magnets to London; and if he will make a statement.

Miss Quennell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government in what respects his Department's policy on the South Hampshire Study as outlined on 10th July, 1968, has now been modified.

Mr. K. Robinson

None. The possibility of a planned intake of population is one of the matters now being studied by the joint team set up by the three planning authorities, but my right hon. Friend's statement of 10th July, 1968, made it clear that the main administrative task would be to shape and control the growth which is likely to occur in the normal course of events.—[Vol. 768, c.109–10.]
