asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the strategic plans for the East Anglian and South Western regions will be published.

Mr. Oakes

The report of the study team commissioned jointly by my Department, the East Anglia Economic Planning Council and the East Anglia Consultative Committee will be published in the autumn. A report on "A Strategic Settlement Pattern for the South West" prepared by the South West Economic Planning Council was published on 22nd April. Both reports will be considered by the Government in the light of comments from local authorities and others interested.
