§ 48. Mr. Fenner Brockwayasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what conclusions he has reached on the statement by the Town and Country Planning Association on the South-East Study, a copy of which has been sent to him by the Association, particularly on the proposal that two-thirds of the increased value of land arising from development plans shall be returned to the community.
§ Sir K. JosephThe Association's statement was received only a few days ago. It is being considered but it is a long246W and complex document and it is too early yet to say what conclusions will be reached on all the issues raised by the Association. I have noted with interest the suggestion for a betterment levy. But the statement does not consider—in my view—realistically the effect that their proposals would have upon the voluntary supply of land for development.
