HC Deb 28 June 1960 vol 625 cc103-4W
70. Mr. R. Edwards

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he is aware of the difficulties created for commercial undertakings particularly shops and showrooms, arising out of the lack of uniform standards of parking space requirements for all new developments because of the differing standards in the various county council areas; and if he will investigate this matter with a view to establishing overall uniform standards for shopping and commercial centres.

Sir K. Joseph

My right hon. Friend is not aware of difficulties arising from this cause, but he is considering whether to issue guidance to local planning authorities on parking space standards.
