HC Deb 16 November 1933 vol 281 cc1104-5
64. Major NATHAN

asked the Minister of Health how many resolutions have been passed by the London County Council under Section 6 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1932, in respect of land already built upon within the administrative county of London; and whether he can give particulars as to the areas covered by any such resolutions?

Sir H. YOUNG

The London County Council have notified me that they have passed a resolution under Section 6 of the Act in respect of an area within the Metropolitan boroughs of Finsbury, Holborn and St. Pancras. They have not yes, however, submitted the resolution, with particulars of the area, to me for approval.

Major NATHAN

Do I understand the right hon. Gentleman to say that the Ministry have so far given no approval in these cases?

Sir H. YOUNG

None have yet been submitted for approval.

Major NATHAN

But does not the right hon. Gentleman think that a full and comprehensive planning scheme for London is a necessary condition precedent to any adequate programme of housing?
