HC Deb 06 December 1972 vol 847 c418W
57. Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he now expects to announce a decision on the future expansion of Harlow new town.

Mr. Rippon

I am not yet at the stage of deciding whether to make a draft order for the extension of the designated area. If such an order is made, the timing of a final decision will depend on whether objections are made which require the holding of a public inquiry.
