HC Deb 05 February 1968 vol 758 cc20-1
33. Mr. Hunt

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works when his Department expects to complete removal of the prefabricated buildings at Magpie Hall Lane, Bromley Common.

Mr. Mellish

Five houses remain to he cleared on this site. My Department was notified by the local authority on 31st January that they were ready for removal, and I expect that removal of the superstructures will be completed by the end of this month. The concrete bases will then be removed as soon as possible.

Mr. Hunt

I thank the Minister for that reply. Is he aware that as long as they remain they are an eyesore and nuisance on land which is zoned as green belt? I am glad to know that the clearance is being speeded up.

Mr. Mellish

I am much obliged.
