HC Deb 18 June 1985 vol 81 c75W
Mr. Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he intends to announce his draft modifications into the north-east Hampshire structure plan and to publish the report of the panel which conducted the examination in public into that plan.

Mr. Macfarlane

My right hon. Friend intends shortly to publish proposed modifications to the submitted alteration to the north-east Hampshire structure plan, together with the report of the panel which conducted the examination in public.

Mr. Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received from the House Builders Federation in connection with the stage 1 alterations into the north-east Hampshire structure plan subsequent to the completion of the examination in public on 6 July 1984; and whether he intends to take those representations into account in the draft modifications he proposes to make to the plan.

Mr. Macfarlane

My right hon. Friend received no representations about the alterations from the House Builders Federation following the examination in public.

He is aware that, in the week following the examination, the House Builders Federation wrote to the chairman of the panel who, in the last session on housing issues, had offered to take account of any further, written comments from participants on circular 15/84 which was published during the examination.

My right hon. Friend is considering the panel's report.

Mr. Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he received the report of the panel which conducted the examination in public into the north-east Hampshire structure plan held between 3 and 6 July 1984 at Farnborough, Hampshire.

Mr. Macfarlane

The report was received in my Department on 26 October 1984.
