HC Deb 25 February 1976 vol 906 cc240-1W
48. Mr. Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now make a statement, in connection with his consideration of the London Plan, on the optimum population level to which he believes the Greater London Council area should aim in order to achieve the best possible balance between all the services, commerce and industry, and the best possible living conditions for the people of London.

Mr. Oakes

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State made a statement in October 1975 and in December 1975 the Greater London Council published the Government's proposed modifications to the Greater London Development Plan. The objection period will expire on 10th March 1976. We cannot make any further statement on the Plan until we have carefully considered any objections there may be.
