§ Mr. K. Thompsonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is now able to give further information regarding the Report of the consultant appointed to consider and advise on the redevelopment of the area around St. Paul's Cathedral, which it was understood would be ready in the autumn of 1955; 173W and whether he is aware that the delay continues to cause hardship and financial loss in respect of developments in the vicinity of St. Paul's which have now been held up for almost a year.
§ Mr. SandysI understand that the Report is likely to be received shortly. I am not aware that any assurance was given that it would be ready in the autumn of 1955, but I fully appreciate the importance of avoiding any needless delay in reaching decisions.
