HC Deb 27 February 1978 vol 945 cc55-6W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will place in the Library a copy of his two consultation papers sent to the local authority associations on the Community Land Act entitled "Community Land Scheme—Programmes and Block Allocations "and"Community Land Scheme—Block Allocations and Programmes" whether the timetable contained in Annex A of the latter document now represents Government policy; what response he has so far received from local authorities; and what action is now proposed in the light of their comments.

Mr. Guy Barnett

These were exploratory papers forming part of the con- tinuing dialogue between my Department's officials and the associations on the arrangements for administering the community land scheme. I think wider availability would belie the informal nature of the discussions: I have not yet taken a view on what changes may be needed.
