§ Mr. WellsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will list the membership of the south-east regional aggregate working party, the interest each member represents and the meetings held: and if he will publish a summary of their purposes, recent activities, decisions made and advice offered.
§ Mr. TrippierThe regional aggregates working parties are local authority groups which draw their membership from mineral planning authorities, the aggregate minerals industry and the appropriate Government Departments. The south-east regional aggregates working party is chaired by the county planning officer of Hertfordshire and the secretariat is provided by the London and South-East regional planning conference (Serplan). I have asked Serplan to provide my hon. Friend with the information he has asked for.
