HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 c96W
76. Mr. Piratin

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many factories in Central London have been allowed to extend their premises; and what coordination there is between his Department and that of the Minister of Town and Country Planning in relation to such extensions, so as to secure the implementation of the Abercrombie Report.

Mr. Bottomley

Between the end of the war and 30th November, 1948 (which is the last date for which full statistics are available) approval has been given for 45 factory extensions of 5,000 sq. ft. and over in the London County Council area. All applications for factory extensions in the London area are discussed with the Ministry of Town and Country Planning before a decision is reached.
