Mr. Michael Latham

ment advice notes together with the guidance notes issued to authorities about the community land scheme. Design bulletins are primarily concerned with the design aspects of housing.

Mr. Guy Barnett

My right hon. Friend has made one such order. It was to set up a joint board for the Dock-lands area at the request of the Greater London Council and, the London Boroughs of Greenwich, Lewisham, Newham, Southwark and Tower Hamlets. He has received no other requests for a joint board.

Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has yet received any requests from any county authority that he should make an order under Section 18 of the Community Land Act 1975 in respect of designated relevant development for any or all of the county areas concerned; if so, which were the authorities; what response he has made to the request; and whether he envisages making any such order within the next 12 months.

Mr. Guy Barnett

No county authority has applied. Basildon District Council asked for an order in 1976; this was refused as premature. My right hon.
