§ Mr. Skeffington-Lodgeasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether it is with his approval that a large outdoor advertising sign has been erected in Whitehall; and whether, as this is offensive to public taste in a street of 163W this character, he will have the sign removed.
§ Mr. SilkinAdvertisements do not require my approval, but when the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, comes into operation local planning authorities will have powers to control their display.
