§ 29. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he is satisfied that the new Hilton Hotel, in Park Lane, will not affect the privacy of the grounds of Buckingham Palace; and if he will seek an assurance from the London County Council in this respect.
§ Sir K. JosephAny high building must affect the privacy of other property. This was taken into account when the plans for the Hilton Hotel were under consideration, but the Government decided that high buildings must be allowed in Park Lane provided that they were properly spaced and well designed; and concluded that the much modified plans produced after the first ones had been rejected satisfied these requirements.
