HC Deb 08 December 1964 vol 703 cc175-6W
Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will amend the Use Classes regulations made under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, to enable planning authorities to control the use of commercial

general and supplemental grant orders for the years 1959–60 to 1964–65 inclusive; and what increase or decrease these totals represented taking one year with another.

Mr. Crossman

Following is the information:

£M. Per cent. change from previous year
1959–60 60.0
1960–61 68.7 +14.5
1961–62 75.8 +10.3
1962–63 81.6 +7.7
1963–64 93.6 +14.7
1964–65 104.4 +11.5

These figures do not include loan charges in respect of welfare accommodation.

Mr. Temple

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what were the totals of expenditure within the general and relative supplemental grant orders for the years 1959–60 to 1964–65; and what his estimate is of the percentage increase year by year of those totals both in current terms and in real terms.

Mr. Crossman

The table gives the information required at current prices:

premises for launderettes which operate for 24 hours a day and are otherwise likely to cause a nuisance to the occupiers of neighbouring residential premises.

Mr. MacColl

If a launderette causes a nuisance to nearby residents, remedies are available.
