HC Deb 20 January 1948 vol 446 cc2-3
2. Mr. Walker-Smith

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he is able to announce the appointed day under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947.

Mr. King

My right hon. Friend will be making an announcement shortly.

Mr. Walker-Smith

Will the Minister bear in mind the desirability of fixing the date as soon as possible and thereby relieving of uncertainty local authorities, landowners, and, indeed, these who are called upon to advise them?

Mr. King

Yes, certainly, and I will go further and say that that announcement will come within two or three weeks.
