HC Deb 25 November 1970 vol 807 c127W
101. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what studies have been undertaken by his Department on out-of-town retail developments; and which distributive trade associations are being consulted.

Mr. Graham Page

This type of shopping project is amongst those which are currently being reviewed in the Department as part of the continuing process of examining the planning implications of new forms of development. No particular consultations on the subject have taken place though these and other shopping trends have been discussed at routine meetings with representatives of the trade.
