HC Deb 23 June 1976 vol 913 c512W
48. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has revised his Department's projection, first made in 1968, that the population of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed would expand to 20,000 by 1980.

Mr. Guy Barnett

No. There has been no formal revision of the population projections for Berwick-upon-Tweed. I am given to understand that projections of future population in this area will form part of the work being currently undertaken by Northumberland County Council in the preparation of its structure plan.
