HC Deb 23 March 1982 vol 20 c314W
Mr. Hastings

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement on progress with development on derelict land within inner cities.

Mr. Giles Shaw

My right hon. Friend is now considering the applications by local authorities in response to his invitation to put forward reclamation schemes for 1982–83 which will lead to immediate development by the private sector. He hopes to advise local authorities shortly on those which he has selected for the programme.
