HC Deb 07 November 1940 vol 365 cc1431-2
47. Major Sir Edward Cadogan

asked the Prime Minister what action the Government propose to take in regard to the approach made to them by the Common Council of the City of London with a view to the appointment of an advisory committee with the authorities concerned in rebuilding and replanning of the areas affected by enemy air raids?

Mr. Attlee

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister gave directions that the communication referred to should be forwarded to the Minister of Works and Public Buildings and it is now having the consideration of my Noble Friend.

Mr. E. Harvey

Is it not important that the whole question of reconstruction should have Cabinet consideration?

Mr. Attlee

The matter is being referred, first of all, to the Minister of Works and Public Buildings.
