asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what further steps he has taken in relation to the setting up of the proposed urban development corporation.

Mr. Heseltine

Following my announcement of the names of the shadow chairman and shadow deputy chairman of the London UDC, the chief executive appointment has been advertised. I am considering further the area to be designated, and appointments to the boards of the shadow UDCs.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is yet able to announce the names of the members of the board of the proposed Merseyside urban development corporation.

Mr. Heseltine

I hope to do so shortly.
