§ 39. Mr. Sparksasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what steps have so far been taken to implement the main principles of the Greater London Plan for the decentralisation of industry and population.
§ Mr. KingI would refer my hon. Friend to the memorandum which my right hon. Friend issued in May last on the report of the Advisory Committee for London Regional Planning. In carrying out or permitting such development as is proceeding, local authorities are in general conforming to the plan as modified by the memorandum. The position in regard to new towns, which are of course a main feature of the plan, is the subject of a separate question by my hon. Friend.
