HC Deb 24 January 1975 vol 884 c509W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) why his proposed meeting with the Standing Conference on London and South-East Regional Planning regarding the survey on green belt land requested by his predecessor has not taken place in the light of his answer to the hon. Member for Melton on 12th November 1974 that he expected it to take place shortly;

(2) why he has not yet received the report from the Standing Conference on London and South-East Regional Planning, originally requested by his predecessor, on the potential release of 2,000 acres of green belt land for housing, in the light of his answer to the hon. Member for Melton on 4th July 1974 that he expected to hear from the standing conference in a matter of weeks.

Mr. John Silkin

I understand that the standing conference decided to delay the formal submission of its report pending
