HC Deb 05 June 1951 vol 488 c104W
97. Mr. G. Hutchinson

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning whether he will send a circular to local authorities discouraging them from employing the term "Civic centre" to describe or to amplify the description of premises for which the traditional expression "Town hall, Shire hall, Guildhall or County hall" might equally be used.

Mr. Lindgren

No. My right hon. Friend would regard such a circular as pedantic.
