Town and Country Planning

HC Deb 22 April 1952 vol 499 c5W

2. Mr. Baldock

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government the annual cost of administering town and country planning in the United Kingdom to the latest convenient date.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I fear that it would be almost impossible to obtain for my hon. Friend the information which he wants, without some more precise definition of terms and immense research into English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish records.

8. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will now state if he will be able to introduce legislation this Session to amend the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947.

Mr. H. Macmillan

It will certainly not be possible to introduce legislation for this purpose during the present Session.
