§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what factors he proposes to take into account in his analysis of urban needs based on the 1991 census data; what weighting he proposes to give to each factor; and what additional data not contained in the census he will be seeking.
§ Mr. Robin SquireA report on this subject by the Centre for Urban Policy Studies will shortly be circulated to local authority associations and voluntary organisations. The report will consider the factors which might be taken into account in analysing urban needs in the light of the 1991 census and other data. A copy will be placed in the Library of the House.
