HC Deb 24 November 1959 vol 614 c21W
71. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state, with respect to each separate statutory power conferred upon a local authority to acquire land in a Development Area or to carry out works on such land for enabling it to be brought into use, the principles on which he gives or refuses his consent.

Mr. Maclay

Beyond assuring the hon. Member that all relevant factors are taken into consideration, I am afraid a reply to his Question in general terms is impracticable. If he will let me know of any particular issue he may have in mind, I shall, of course, be glad to write to him fully about it.
