HC Deb 18 May 1981 vol 5 cc26-7W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in the Official Report those countries to which his Department has given advice on the establishment of new towns.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Since the British Urban Development Services Unit was wound up in 1978, my Department has arranged for advice on new town development to be given to Trinidad, and discussions are now proceeding about advice to Algeria and Venezuela. In addition, there have been requests from overseas to individual new town development corporations.
