HC Deb 03 June 1930 vol 239 c1964
70. Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

asked the Minister of Health what steps he is taking to review the London Building Acts so as to eliminate out-of-date provisions and restrictions which act as a clog upon building and employment in the building trades and their co-operant industries?

Mr. PARKINSON (Lord of the Treasury)

The London Building Acts are private Acts of Parliament, and it rests with the London County Council to propose to Parliament any measures for bringing them up-to-date.

Mr. SAMUEL

Will the hon. Member bring this matter to the notice of the London County Council, so that this obstacle to building and employment may be removed by the waiving of obsolete provisions?

Mr. HOLFORD KNIGHT

Is my hon. Friend aware that the London County Council have introduced a Bill which is now under the consideration of a Joint Committee of both Houses?
