HC Deb 25 February 1976 vol 906 c240W
49. Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to give his decision following the public inquiry held in Preston regarding Central Lancashire new town plans; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Oakes

In my right hon. Friend's reply on 15th January to a similar Question from my hon. Friend—[Vol. 903, c. 208]—he indicated his hopes that the Secretary of State's decision on the Outline Plan would be made before the summer. There has been no change since then.
