HC Deb 14 December 1954 vol 535 c1566
33. Mr. Lindgren

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many schemes have been submitted to his Department under the Town Development Act, 1952; the date of the first scheme, and the names of the places involved; and when his decisions might be expected to be announced.

Mr. Deedes

Seven—Ashford, Aylesbury, Bletchley, Letchworth. St. Albans, Swindon and Worsley. Discussions took place on all these schemes before proposals were formulated, and the first to be approved was the Swindon scheme, in April, 1954. Approval has since been given to the Bletchley scheme; those for Ashford, Letchworth and Worsley are still under consideration, while the St. Albans scheme is not being proceeded with.
