§ Mr. Freesonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what consideration is being given to the suggestion of the Milner Holland Committee on London housing that areas of special control should be established in the older districts of the metropolis.
§ Mr. MellishMy right hon. Friend thinks that local authorities are better placed to deal with such areas than any special authority of the type suggested by the Milner Holland Committee; the powers required are being considered by a group of officers from the Greater London Council, the London Boroughs, and my Department.
