HC Deb 29 November 1945 vol 416 cc1525-6
39. Lieut.-Colonel Martin Lindsay

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the difficulties of which he has been informed by letter, he is prepared at a convenient time to extend the powers contained in the Private Street Works Act, 1892, and Section 150 of the Public Health Act, 1875, to entitle local authori ties to require developers of housing estates to give security for the completion of the streets thereon to the satisfaction of the local authority, and to enable local authorities, in appropriate cases, to require developers to make up the streets finally in lieu of the frontagers.

Mr. Bevan

While I cannot give any undertaking about legislation to amend the law relating to private streets, this suggestion will be borne in mind.
