HC Deb 05 December 1978 vol 959 c641W
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what official reports and surveys have been conducted on the North-West region during the last five years.

Mr. Guy Barnett:

Major official reports and surveys published for general information on the North-West as a whole over the last five years include:

Strategic plan for the North West, associated technical reports and the Government response (1974–75);

Report of the North West Working Party on Mineral Aggregates (Interim report 1977);

Strategic Review of the North West Region (TSA 1974).

Additionally, other material has been produced by bodies such as the North West Economic Planning Council, the North West Water Authority and regional health authorities. To compile an exhaustive list of documents would involve disproportionate cost, and if the hon. Member has a specific point perhaps he would write to me.
