HC Deb 17 January 1983 vol 35 cc75-6W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he proposes to take to secure the development of the area known as the Southwark site in the light of the Greater London council's decision not to proceed with an agreement to release the land to Lysander Estates Ltd.; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. King

An order under section 141 of the Local Government Planning and Land Act 1980 which, if approved by both Houses of Parliament, will vest ownership of the site in the London Docklands Development Corporation, has today been laid before the House.
