HC Deb 29 June 1936 vol 314 cc45-6W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that at Hemel Hempstead the borough council have modified the preliminary town plan by dezoning 10 acres in a residential area for factory purposes; that the council's procedure in dezoning this area has been called in question by certain of its members as being ultra vires; that acute opposition has been caused amongst residents of Hemel Hempstead, who have been afforded no opportunity for making effective protest; and will he withhold his assent from the scheme until the objections of its opponents have been considered and met?

Sir K. WOOD

My attention has been called to this matter and I have received further representations within the last few days. I am looking into the position in the light of those further representations and will communicate with the hon. Member.
