HC Deb 07 February 1978 vol 943 c509W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the Government's plans to implement the recommendations of the Dobry Committee on planning.

Mr. Guy Barnett

The conclusions of the Secretaries of State on the recommendations made by Mr. George Dobry, QC, and the action which they would take as a result were contained in a statement placed in the Library on 12th November 1975.

A circular—113/75—bringing this statement to the attention of local authorities in England and Wales was issued on the following day, and in January 1976 a further circular—9/76—was sent describing the administrative action to be taken by local authorities.
