HC Deb 08 December 1983 vol 50 c207W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received regarding the working of circular 9/80 from individuals and organisations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Macfarlane

A number of representations about circular 9/80 have been received, mostly of a detailed nature. These were taken into account in preparing the draft circular on land for housing. I am issuing a further draft of this circular, and I do not think a statement would be appropriate at present.
