HC Deb 18 July 1974 vol 877 c254W
Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consideration has been given to the provision of sufficient employment opportunities for the additional population if plans to expand Harlow are approved.

Mr. John Silkin

One of the matters which the development corporation has under consideration as part of its study into the feasibility of expanding Harlow to meet local needs is the present and future availability of jobs. It is also one of the matters which I shall be considering in consultation with my colleagues when I receive the corporation's proposals.
