§ Sir T. DugdaleI would refer the right hon. Gentleman to the reply I gave to his Question on 11th February. As I explained, no final plans have yet been submitted to the Commissioners of Crown Lands. I would add further that under the County of London Development Plan the intention is that buildings in this area should be reserved for Governmental or institutional use.
