HC Deb 23 September 1943 vol 392 c442W
Mr. W. Brown

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning when he contemplates being able to announce the Government's decisions on the Scott and Uthwatt Reports?

Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he will now make a pronouncement confirming the pledges given during the past few years to the effect that local authorities and other public bodies should be enabled to buy land at approximately pre-war prices, with a view to ensuring reconstruction on a wide scale and eliminating undesirable speculative transactions?

Mr. W. Roberts

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether his attention has been drawn to pronouncements by the Lord Mayor of Plymouth as to the difficulty of making plans for the rebuilding of bomb damaged towns without a decision by the Government on the recommendations of the committees which have reported; and whether such decisions will soon be made?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I would refer the hon. Members to the reply which I gave on Tuesday last to the hon. Member for East Birkenhead (Mr. Graham White) of which I am sending them copies.
