HC Deb 27 July 1944 vol 402 c868
38. Mr. Hugh Lawson

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the unsatisfactory nature of the law relating to the making up of private streets; and it he will consider the introduction of new legislation on this subject before large-scale development of new housing estates takes place.

Mr. Willink

At the outbreak of war proposals for amendment of the law in question were under consideration by a Committee under the late Lord Amulree which had been set up by the then Minister of Transport to deal with the law relating to highways generally. That Committee has since been in abeyance, but the point raised in the second part of the Question is being borne in mind.
