Sir George Young

On 19 November 1985, my right hon. Friend directed Leeds city council to take steps to dispose of its interest in 11 sites from the register of unused or underused land compiled by him under the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980. The directions were made under section 98 of the Act. A list of all the 21 sites where directions were issued on 19 November has been placed in the Library.
