HC Deb 02 July 1996 vol 280 c392W
21. Sir Sydney Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to encourage higher standards of design in town and country development. [33955]

Mr. Robert B. Jones

I take this opportunity to encourage higher standards of design and we are considering what further national guidance might be useful. We have already launched the "quality in town and country" initiative and we recently set up a national urban design campaign, which will be the subject of a major exhibition in October.
