HC Deb 18 April 1950 vol 474 c5
5. Mr. Turton

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning to what extent it is the policy of his Department to refuse permission for the establishment of grass-drying plants in farms which are in or adjacent to villages.

Mr. Dalton

I wish to put the minimum of restrictions on the erection of farm buildings, including those required to house grass-drying plants.

Mr. Turton

What is the Minister doing to carry out his wishes in this matter? Is he aware that the planning authorities are refusing permission for the establishment of these grass driers and will he take action?

Mr. Dalton

No, I have no evidence that refusal is taking place, but if the hon. Member will send particulars I will, of course, look into them.
