HC Deb 18 November 1926 vol 199 c1944
24. Mr. THOMSON

also asked how many towns have begun to formulate town planning schemes; and how many towns with a population of 10,000 or more have done nothing in the matter?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

285 urban authorities have prepared or are preparing town planning schemes, a number of which extend to portions of other urban areas. The number of urban authorities with a population of 10,000 or over in whose areas formal steps have not, so far as I am aware, been taken in the preparation of town planning schemes is 281.
