50 YEARS OF GREEN BELT

Early day motion 228, tabled 25 May 2005 by Caroline Spelman (Conservative). Signed by 73 members.

That this House commends the campaign to protect rural England for its work in highlighting the 50th year of the green belt and in defending green spaces; notes the risk that the Government's policies on development in the South East, East Anglia and in other regions will lead to the disappearance of many parts of rural England; and calls for an urgent review of the environmental impact of those policies to guarantee the green belt for the next 50 years.
