HC Deb 29 March 1972 vol 834 c82W
66. Mrs. Fenner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now make a statement on his plans to expedite planning procedures.

Mr. Graham Page

Two circulars, one issued today and the other issued last week—introducing new appeal forms and recommending model application forms and the other on certain applications for industrial development—should help to simplify and hasten procedures and we will shortly be consulting the local authority associations about various other more major proposals.
