HC Deb 03 November 1969 vol 790 cc49-50W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Local Government and Regional Planning what action he proposes to take on the recommendations of the Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Planning Council's Area Study of Huddersfield and Colne Valley?

Mr. Urwin

The report is addressed to all concerned with the future development of the area, including local authorities and industry. Increased Govern

ment grants for the reclamation of derelict land will assist in improving environment. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government is ready to give all possible assistance to new and improved housing in the area and full account is taken of the Council's proposals in considering applications for industrial development certificates.
