HC Deb 03 March 1971 vol 812 cc433-4W
60. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the list of environmental development projects covered by his proposals for improving the environment of the Black Country included the provision of a community centre playing fields and open space in the Mesty Croft area of Wednesbury in West Bromwich.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No application has been received from the West Bromwich Corporation for loan sanction for such a scheme. Under the new arrangements it will fall to the local authority to decide about projects of this kind.

61. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a schedule of the derelict land sites in West Bromwich which he proposes will be developed, and by what time scale, under his proposals for improving the environment of the Black Country.

Mr. Michael Heseltine
