§ Captain Soamesasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, despite his decision not to introduce amending legislation in connection with town and country planning during the present Session, he will, nevertheless, take steps, by regulation, to authorise the Central Land Board further to extend to cases where 7W planning permission has been refused and particularly to cases where such permission has been refused on the ground that plots are too close to some trunk road, the arrangements for a single house plot owner to set off the development charge which would be payable on a house built on another site against his claim on the £300,000,000 fund for loss of development values.
§ Sir S. CrippsMy right hon. Friend the Minister of Town and Country Planning has asked the Central Land Board to review generally the working of Parts VI and VII of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947. I regret that I cannot consider the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion until the Board's recommendations have been received.
