HC Deb 10 May 1971 vol 817 cc29-30W
90. Mr. Trew

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy on office development permits in Dartford.

Mr. Graham Page

My right hon. Friend is prepared to issue office development permits in Dartford in suitable cases in accordance with the policy, which he announced on 7th December last, of seeking to encourage dispersal from London of office activities which can be equally effectively carried out elsewhere in the region, and channelling the growth to areas capable of sustaining it.—[Vol. 808, c. 44–5.]
