§ 47. Mr. Longdenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what proposals he has to reduce the area of office floor space in the congested centre of London for which planning permission has already been granted but which has not yet been constructed; what is that area; and how many additional office workers it is expected that it will accommodate.
§ Mr. CorfieldRevocation of these planning permissions would require the payment of compensation on a scale which my right hon. Friend does not think would be justified. The floor area covered by outstanding permissions in46W July 1963 was 16 million square feet; he estimates that this might mean about 60,000 additional office jobs.
