§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in view of the large number of different types of permit required before building work can be undertaken, and in view of the excessive time these take to obtain, if he will set up a committee to investigate the situation, and recommend ways in which many of these permits could be dispensed with or combined under one or two authorities, in order to speed up building and save money, without affecting the quality of the ultimate structure.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThis is a subject which has already been thoroughly considered on more than one occasion in the past, but I should be very glad to examine any further material that my hon. Friend may care to put before me.
