HC Deb 29 October 1987 vol 121 c440W
Mr. Quentin

Davies asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the date on which Peterborough development corporation is to be wound up.

Mrs. Roe

On 11 June 1986 my hon. Friend the Member for Surbiton (Mr. Tracey) announced that 30 September 1988 had been set as the target wind up date for the corporation. Consultations under section 41 of the New Towns Act 1981 with Cambridgeshire county and Peterborough city councils have been undertaken, and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and I have considered the responses received. Having taken these into account, my right hon. Friend confirms his intention to wind up Peterborough development corporation on 30 September 1988. The necessary order will be made next year.
