HC Deb 03 December 1952 vol 508 c160W
Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government the acreage of areas of comprehensive development eligible for Exchequer grant under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, which have been shown on development plans so far submitted to his Department.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I regret that the information is not available. Areas defined in development plans for comprehensive development may include land for purposes in addition to those for which Exchequer grant under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, may be paid, and a decision as to what part of the land should be approved for payment of grant is made later when detailed proposals for the development have been prepared and the development can be undertaken.
