§ Mr. P. Freemanasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what is the minimum standard of open space per 1,000 of population in any town planning scheme sanctioned; and the minimum to be set aside for games and recreation.
§ Mr. SilkinIt would not be practicable, in view of the wide variation of circumstances, to lav down a minimum standard 1291W of open space for application to every planning scheme. I have, however, in a circular, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy, advised local planning authorities regarding the normal standards to which they should have regard in the matters referred to.
