HC Deb 02 February 1987 vol 109 c492W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give details of any studies or research sponsored by his Department on the effects of circular 15/84 about land for housing.

Mr. John Patten

The Department has commissioned two research studies on land for housing recently. A report on a study of land use planning and the housing market by Coopers and Lybrand was published by it in 1985. A supplementary report on the same study will be published shortly. A study on land used for residential development in the south-east by Roger Tym and Partners has been completed and a report will be published by the consultants.
