§ Mr. Priorasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) whether he will investigate the shortage of building land with planning permission in the town of Lowestoft, in view of the urgent need for more houses and the slowness of 93W obtaining building land by means of redevelopment orders;
(2) whether he will investigate the need for the release of more land for industrial development in the Lowestoft area, in view of the facts that it will be some years before redevelopment of the beach area is completed, and that no other sites of reasonable size are available for industrialists wishing to expand, or for offering to industry wishing to take advantage of the facilities available in the area.
§ Mr. MacCollThe allocation of land for development is a matter in the first instance for the County Council who, I understand, are working in close consultation with the Lowestoft Council.
