HC Deb 12 January 1998 vol 304 cc14-5W
Mr. Laurence Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he has received a copy of Gloucestershire County Council's revised structure plan; if he will be accepting the reduced number of new houses proposed for the period covered; and if he will make a statement. [22525]

Mr. Caborn

The Secretary of State has received a copy of the Deposit version of the Gloucestershire Structure Plan which, I understand, was placed on deposit today. Any representations or objections he wishes to make will be sent to the County Council before the end of the statutory six weeks consultation period.

It would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the content of the plan because of the Secretary of State's formal role on planning matters.
