§ Mr. Simsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, following his consultation on a draft letter of regional strategic guidance for the south-east, he is now in a position to issue final guidance to planning authorities in the region.
§ Mr. RidleyI have today written to Lord Sandford, chairman of the London and south-east regional planning 637W conference, setting out the strategic guidance that I consider necessary at this stage for the review and updating of structure plans in the south-east region. I have sent copies of my letter to hon. Members for constituencies in the south-east and a copy has been placed in the Library.
