§ Mr. Thorneasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will speed up the building of new houses within the Central Lancashire New Town area; and whether he will publish forward plans in this regard.
§ Mr. John SilkinIn so far as public sector house building within the designated area of the Central Lancashire New Town is carried out by the Development Corporation its building programme is substantial, and adequate to meet their present needs. Plans for future building will depend upon my right hon. Friend's decision on the outline plan, which I hope will be made before the summer.
