HC Deb 22 December 1919 vol 123 c1072W
Mr. GREGORY

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the London County Council are about to erect a large new town near Dagenham, in the county of Essex, comprising about. 25,000 houses, to hold about 125, 000 persons, at an estimated cost of between £20,000,000 and £25,000,000; and, if so, whether there will be any public or Departmental inquiry held at which parties interested can attend, as the influx of such a nature will involve many questions as to roads, sewage, water supply, and lighting?

Dr. ADDISON

I do not think it will be necessary to hold a formal public inquiry, but conferences are bring held between representatives of the Ministry of Health, the county council, and parties interested, and the questions to which the hon. Member refers are receiving consideration
