HC Deb 03 November 1997 vol 300 c70W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when the hon. Member for Walsall, North will receive a reply to his letter of 29 July regarding the black country development corporation—Ref. PT/EE/P50/10996/97; and what are the reasons for the delay. [13202]

Angela Eagle

I wrote to the hon. Member yesterday. The delay was primarily due to the need to consider all the responses to the consultation on the proposed Statutory Instruments to secure the wind-up of the Urban Development Corporation.
