HC Deb 12 July 1960 vol 626 c94W
73. Mr. Lipton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs when he expects to announce the result of his review of the rising cost of land for building.

Mr. H. Brooke

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 5th July to the hon. Members for Hayes and Harlington (Mr. Skeffington) and Fife, West (Mr. W. Hamilton).

77. Mr. Wade

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what steps he proposes to take to ensure that the community shall derive some part of the increased site value of land available for development when such increased value has been created by the community.

Mr. H. Brooke

This is a very old question and has been the subject of many bright ideas. None of them has worked. I am concentrating my efforts on continuously improving the operation of planning control.
