Strategic Plan for the South-East

HC Deb 10 July 1970 vol 803 cc108-9W

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware of the concern in Mid-Sussex about the conurbations proposed in that area by the Strategic Plan for the South-East; and if he will make an early statement announcing his intention to hold discussions with those who are affected.

Mr. Graham Page

Letters have already been sent to local authorities and other interested bodies in the South East inviting them to comment by the end of the year on the general merits of the strategy proposed in the Report and on how it might affect their area. Those affected by the recommendations for the Mid-Sussex area will doubtless be letting me know their views in due course.
