HC Deb 10 April 1930 vol 237 c2352
77. Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

asked the Minister of Health if he still considers a further measure of town-planning essential to proper housing development: and whether, and when, he proposes to introduce legislation for the purposes?

Mr. GREENWOOD

It is still my intention to introduce amending town-planning legislation as soon as opportunity permits.

Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

is it not essential to introduce this Measure at, the same time as the Bill dealing with slums: otherwise, these developments must go on under the old town-planning Acts on wrong principles. Are we not perpetuating wrong principles?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am glad of the hon. and gallant Member's haste in this matter. If he could assure me that these two Bills would get through the House at the same time, I should be glad to consider the matter.

Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

Is not this putting the cart before the horse?
