HC Deb 07 December 1978 vol 959 c785W
Mr. Michael Spicer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy regarding the recommendations of the report of the Association of District Councils on"Rural Recovery: Strategy for Survival ".

Mr. Denis Howell

The recommendations are many and diverse, ranging across the responsibilities of other Departments. As well as that, representatives of the association have already met the countryside review committee—to which the report was addressed—and further meetings are to be arranged to consider specific points in more detail.
