HC Deb 19 January 1978 vol 942 c353W
Mr. McCartney

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the membership of the economic planning councils.

Mr. Shore

I have recently completed the 1977 review of the membership of the North, North-West, Yorkshire and Humberside, East Midlands, East Anglia, South-East and South-West Economic Planning Councils. Below is a list of the current members of each separate Council. I hope to complete my review of the West Midlands Economic Planning Council shortly.

I am glad to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the excellent work done by those who give up their time to serve on these councils.
