HC Deb 16 August 1916 vol 85 c1866
85. Mr. A. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that, as a result of the establishment of a new shipbuilding industry at Chepstow, the population of the town is likely to be more than quadrupled during the next-five years; and whether, in order to ensure that the health and convenience of its inhabitants shall be properly secured, he will require the local urban district council immediately to prepare a town-planning scheme or schemes?

Mr. LONG

I am aware of the facts in regard to the contemplated establishment of a new shipbuilding industry at Chepstow, and I am in communication with the town council on the subject of the preparation of a town-planning scheme or schemes.
