HC Deb 08 March 1949 vol 462 cc963-4
19. Mr. Mott-Radclyffe

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he has yet considered the evidence submitted on 23rd February at the public inquiry regarding the new town at Bracknell; and how soon he will publish his decision thereon.

Mr. Silkin

I am considering the Report of my Inspector, and I shall publish my decision as soon as possible.

Mr. Mott-Radclyffe

Mr. Silkin

I am sure the hon. Gentleman would wish me to consider carefully the evidence given at the inquiry held on 23rd February, and would not wish to rush me into a decision.
