§ Major Digbyasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he is aware of the work and expense already undertaken by local planning authorities, using maps of a scale of six inches and 25 inches to the mile; and whether he will give an assurance that it is not his intention to ask them, now, to prepare plans on maps of a different scale.
§ Mr. SilkinI am aware of the extensive work already undertaken by planning authorities and shall not, where a revision of planning proposals already shown on maps is necessary, ask for maps on a different scale unless they would be more convenient and economical.
