HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 cc740-1
44. Mr. Molson

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning when the Buxton Corporation may expect a decision upon their application to erect huts at Ladmanlow to accommodate the squatters now occupying the Empire Hotel which constitutes in its present condition a danger td public health.

Mr. Silkin

A reply will be sent as soon as the views of the County Council, who are the planning authority, are known. I understand that the Planning Committee of the County Council is meeting to consider the matter on 28th January.

Mr. Molson

How long has this application been before the County Council?

Mr. Silkin

I do not know. The original application was made on 22nd November, but not to the County Council.
