HC Deb 05 December 1957 vol 579 c80W
88. Mr. Anthony Greenwood

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement on the Government's policy in respect of the Nash terraces in and around the Regent's Park.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Under the Crown Estate Act, 1956, the Commissioners are responsible for taking decisions subject to any directions which may be given by the responsible Minister.

The Government see no reason for any directions to be given to the Commissioners with regard to the decisions just announced in their statement of 28th November and are content for further proposals to be worked out by the Commissioners in consultation with the London County Council as the local planning authority and with the Royal Fine Art Commission. This latter body has warmly welcomed the Commissioner's general approach.
