HC Deb 25 February 1964 vol 690 c41W
32. Mr. Sydney Irving

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many comprehensive town centre redevelopment schemes he has received in the last three years; how many he has approved; and how many are still waiting to be dealt with.

Mr. Corfield

In the three years 1961 to 1963, 92 town centre redevelopment schemes were submitted for approval. During that period 47 schemes were approved, 4 rejected and 3 withdrawn—54 in all—though 30 of these were submitted in earlier years.

Seventy-two schemes are still being dealt with, 33 of which were submitted during the last year.
