58. Sir Hugh Rossi

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to amend the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 to deal with the 10 per cent. rule which encourages applications to develop the roof space of pre-1948 blocks of flats.

Mr. Macfarlane

I am currently considering whether any amendment of the Act would be desirable.
