HC Deb 14 July 1988 vol 137 cc291-3W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment which local structure plans approved by his Department were approved without change.

Mr. Waldegrave

I assume the hon. Member is referring to county structure plans. None has been approved without some modification, but the extent of modifications varies greatly from case to case.

Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list(a) the dates on which each current local structure plan was approved and (b) the period for which each current local structure plan is in force.

Mr. Waldegrave

The table gives the dates of approval of current structure plans and alterations, and the period for which housing provision is made. Other policies may have different or indefinite time periods.
