HC Deb 23 November 1954 vol 533 c1048
36. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how soon he expects to announce his decisions with regard to the London Development Plan.

Mr. Sandys

As soon as possible.

Mr. Robinson

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that it is 18 months since the end of this inquiry, and will he really try to do a bit better than his predecessor in this matter?

Mr. Sandys

There were 7,000 objections to this plan, the public inquiry itself lasted nine months and since the end of the inquiry the London County Council has submitted to the Government some 750 modifications. Consideration of all this has naturally taken some time.
