HC Deb 10 May 1954 vol 527 cc53-4W
Mr. Robson Brown

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what reduction in staff he has been able to effect as a result of the recent changes in the Town and Country Planning Bill.

Mr. H. Macmillan:

None, in my Ministry, since the Town and Country Planning Bill will not relieve it of any of its functions. But Clause 65 of the latest print provides for the eventual winding up and dissolution of the Central Land Board. Reductions in staff have already been made and further reductions will be made as the work of the Board runs down.
