HC Deb 16 July 1965 vol 716 cc125-6W
Mr. Hogg

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will now make a further statement regarding the availability of the St. Marylebone Goods Yard for housing purposes; and whether he will take steps to expedite negotiations now in progress.

Mr. Mellish

British Railways have agreed to dispose of this site for housing and allied purposes. I understand from the Greater London Council that the price has yet to be settled, but meanwhile access has been given for surveying the site and planning of its future use is going ahead. Discussions are shortly to be held between members of the Greater London Council and the Westminster City Council on the arrangements for ownership, development and use of the site.
