§ 129. Sir A. Gridleyasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether the new Bankside Power Station has been approved without reservation by the Royal Fine Art Commission; and whether it has yet been definitely established that the burning of oil fuel will have no deleterious effects on buildings in the neighbourhood.

§ Mr. SilkinI have been asked to reply. The Royal Fine Art Commission have indicated that, within the limitations imposed by the choice of site, they have no criticism to offer of the design proposed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. With reference to the second part of the Question, I am and always have been satisfied that the burning of oil fuel will be without deleterious effects on buildings in the neighbourhood.
