§ 16. Mr. Walker-Smithasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what progress is being made with the definition and identification in particular cases of near-ripe land for the purposes of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947; what procedure is being adopted in this matter; and whether Parliament will have any opportunity of pronouncing upon it before the Treasury Scheme referred to in Section 58 of the Act is considered by Parliament.
§ Mr. SilkinIdentification cannot take place in particular cases until after 1st July, as no claims can be submitted before that date. There will be consultation with interested parties in due course. I hope thereafter that it will be possible to make a statement and the normal opportunities of raising the matter in debate will arise.
