HC Deb 14 July 1959 vol 609 c19W
54. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is aware of public anxiety at the failure of the London County Council to provide opportunity for interested parties to see new building proposals before planning permission is granted; and if he will review the present procedure.

Mr. H. Brooke

I sense a stronger public desire to see the time taken in reaching planning decisions shortened than, in general, to add to the time by providing for more extensive consultations. Perhaps my hon. Friend will let me know what practical proposals, not involving further delays, he has in mind.
