Mr. McLoughlin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he has any plans to review the way in which the Peak Park planning board is operating; and whether he will make a statement;

(2) what information he has as to how many people have been appointed by Derbyshire county council to serve on the Peak Park planning board; and how many of them live in the board's area;

(3) how much money has been paid by his Department to the Peak Park planning board over the last six years.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

I am writing to the local authority associations urging them to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the importance of taking proper account of local interests when making their appointments.
