Mr. David Hunt

My hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Planning announced on 25 July last year the Government's decision to launch the planning inspectorate executive agency in England on 1 April 1992. We have now decided that the agency's operations should extend to Wales.

The framework document now being prepared will set out the relationship between the agency's chief executive, who will also be the chief planning inspector, and the Secretaries of State for the Environment and for Wales.

The Government believe that this arrangement will provide the most efficient method of delivering the services of the planning inspectorate in England and Wales.
