HC Deb 30 July 1980 vol 989 c739W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consultations he will be having in connection with his recent decision to establish 31 December 1985 as the target date for the winding up of Peterlee development corporation.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The New Towns Act 1965 requires us to consult the county and district councils in whose area the new town is situated before any final decision is taken to dissolve Peterlee development corporation.
