HC Deb 02 February 1954 vol 523 c27W
92. Mr. Gibson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he expects to announce the result of the inquiry into the London Development Plan, in view of the fact that the delay in announcing this is causing difficulties to people who desire to dispose of their properties which may be affected by his decision on the report of the inquiry.

Mr. Marples

It will be some time yet before my right hon. Friend can announce his decision on the Plan. This will be dealt with as quickly as possible, but, as the hon. Member will be aware, there were nearly 7,000 objections which have to be considered, as well as many important questions of general policy.
