HC Deb 28 October 1954 vol 531 c309W
Captain Pilkington

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps his Department is taking to preserve the South Downs as one of the most ancient beauty spots of southern England.

Mr. Sandys

Proposals have been made in the relevant development plans for the protection of the South Downs as an area of special landscape value. My predecessor has already approved one such proposal for part of the area; the remainder are under consideration.
