New Towns

HC Deb 24 June 1952 vol 502 c2013

25. Mr. Sparks

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what new towns he proposes to designate in the near future.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I do not propose to designate any more new towns in the near future.

Mr. Sparks

Does that mean the Minister now takes the view that there is no longer any necessity to designate new towns?

Mr. Macmillan

I think it is much, more important to get on with building the new towns that have been designated than to designate a lot more.
