Lord Taylor of Holbeach

asked Her Majesty’s Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Baroness Andrews on 1 July (WA 34), why they did not include Thurrock Council and Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council on the list of areas with potential to become eco-towns. [HL4748]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government
(Baroness Andrews)

Neither of the two locations mentioned met the demanding criteria for eco-towns as published by this department in the eco-towns prospectus of 23 July 2007. Summaries of the assessment of all the eco-town submissions can be found on the department website at: www.communities. gov.uk/publications/housing/Eco-townsassessment summaries.
