HC Deb 30 January 1951 vol 483 cc707-8
28. Mr. Black

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he has considered the memorandum, of which a copy has been sent him, issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and entitled, "Defects of the Town and Country Planning Act and the Remedies": and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Dalton

I have already adopted some of the suggestions in this memorandum, and am considering the others.

Mr. Braine

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the reports of new town development corporations bear out the memorandum to the extent that they show that the compensation provisions of the Act are likely to cause serious hardship, and what does he propose to do about that?

Mr. Dalton

I am considering the other suggestions.
