Mr. Heddle
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on his proposal to amend and consolidate the General Development Order 1977.
Mr. Waldegrave
I gave details of our proposals to amend and consolidate the GDO in an answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Leeds, North-East (Mr. Kirkhope) on 4 February 1988, Official Report, columns 711–12. We are now considering comments received in response to the consultation paper we issued that day. We expect to make the new order later this year.
