HC Deb 20 July 1949 vol 467 cc1362-3
37. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what town planning legislation has now been enacted in Aden; and whether special measures can be taken to speed up the implementation of the plan in relation to recreational facilities in Holkat Bay in view of the pressing needs of all sections of the population.

Mr. Creech Jones

An Aden Town Planning Ordinance was enacted in 1948. The desirability of introducing recreational facilities as soon as possible is fully appreciated, and tenders for the Holkat Bay project are being invited in the Aden Gazette of 20th July.
