HC Deb 16 October 1940 vol 365 cc721-2W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Minister of Health whether he has had any town planning schemes submitted to him since the start of the war; and whether he can give both the details and his decisions, especially in view of the fact that owing to the preoccupation of everybody concerned, such schemes should fitly be postponed until the war ends?

Mr. M. MacDonald

Nine planning schemes have been submitted to me since the outbreak of war. No local inquiry has been held or other formal action taken with a view to the approval of any of these schemes and none is proposed in existing circumstances.
