asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is now considering any other site in Wandsworth to become an enterprise zone, apart from the one mentioned in his reply to a parliamentary question on 31 March.

In the recent discussions with the local authority a more extensive area than that mentioned in my previous reply was considered. Besides the area between the new Covent Garden market and Battersea power station, an extension westwards to take in the old Wandsworth gasworks site is now under consideration.
