HC Deb 19 November 1986 vol 105 cc234-5W
15. Mr. Tony Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on progress to date of urban development corporations.

Mr. Ridley

Following the success of the existing development corporations in London Docklands and on Merseyside, I intend to seek Parliament's approval to the setting up of four further corporations. I hope to lay the orders for the Trafford Park corporation before the end of the year.
