HC Deb 15 February 1973 vol 850 cc425-6W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consultations he has had with the Greater London Council concerning provision of employment for persons expected to occupy areas of new housing in London built in disused dock or other sites.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. and learned Friend has had no formal consultations with the Greater London Council on this subject. The provision of adequate employment for the future population of the docklands area has been examined in detail by the consultants appointed by my right hon. and learned Friend and the Greater London Council to carry out the London Dock-lands Study. Their report will be the subject of extensive discussions with the Greater London Council and other public bodies shortly.
