HC Deb 14 June 1984 vol 61 c549W
Mr. Gould

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list his duties in the course of exercising his functions in planning and environmental matters to secure consistency and continuity in the framing and execution of a national land policy.

Mr. Macfarlane

There is no specific duty laid on my right hon. Friend to secure consistency and continuity in the framing and execution of a national land policy. However, my right hon. Friend has numerous functions related to town and country planning and land use policy and these are set out in the relevant legislation.
