HC Deb 24 June 1969 vol 785 c1193
2. Mr. Barnes

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he has reached a decision on the proposed amendments to the Greater London initial development plan relating to Brentford.

Mr. K. Robinson

Not yet, but I assure my hon. Friend that everything is being done to reach a decision quickly.

Mr. Barnes

Is my right hon. Friend aware of the great potential of the Brent-for riverside area not only for the people of Brentford but for the surrounding area? In view of the length of time that talk about redeveloping Brentford has been going on, will he do everything possible to enable it to go ahead as quickly as possible?

Mr. Robinson

I assure my hon. Friend that I recognise the desirability of reaching an early decision. However, the proposals have given rise to some very tricky issues which need careful consideration.
