Planning Agreements

HC Deb 09 January 1978 vol 941 cc615-6W

Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Industry on how many occasions he discussed the concept of planning agreements with the Confederation of British Industry in 1977; and what was the outcome.

Mr. Alan Williams

My right hon. Friend has formally discussed the concept of planning agreements with the CBI on two occasions during 1977 and there were also, of course, other discussions at official level. These talks were confidential.
