HC Deb 06 February 1930 vol 234 cc2121-2W
Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Health whether he was aware when he sanctiond the plans of the Reading Board of Guardians for the erection of a tramp clearing-house at Bulmarshe Park, Woodley, that it was scheduled as a residential area under the provisions of the Town Planning (General Interim Development) Order, 1922; and whether he has yet informed the Wokingham Rural District Council if they must revise their plan and alter their assessments for this area?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The hon. and gallant Member is under a misapprehension. The Town Planning (General Interim Development) Order, 1922, does not provide for the scheduling of residential areas; and, so far as I am aware, no preliminary statement of proposals for development has been adopted by the council under the Town Planning Regulations in respect of the area in which it is proposed to erect the casual ward. The last part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
