53. Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an estimate of the number of additional district valuers which will be required because of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947; and what will be the estimated additional cost per annum.

Sir S. Cripps

With regard to the staff required, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Financial Secretary on 15th April, 1948. The estimated annual cost of the extra staff is £1 million for five years.
