HC Deb 04 July 1974 vol 876 cc282-3W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will list the organisations which have written to him so far asking for the publication of a Green Paper on his land nationalisation proposals; and what has been the general nature of his replies to them.

Mr. John Silkin

The National House Building Council and the House Builders' Federation have suggested that they would welcome a Green Paper on our proposals. I have expressed my willingness to consider whatever views they wish to submit to me on the community ownership of development land. But, as my right hon. Friend said yesterday, a Green Paper would not be appropriate.
