HC Deb 27 July 1965 vol 717 c69W
77. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he proposes to publish the Report of the Planning Advisory Group.

Mr. Crossman

The Report is to be published on 29th July. The Group which was se: up in May, 1964, by my predecessor and the then Secretary of State for Scotland to review the planning system, has concentrated its attention on development plans; and its Report is called "The Future of Development Plans". Copies will be available in the Library. The Group's proposals would profoundly affect most aspects of the planning system; and they would require legislation. The Report is therefore published to provide a focus for public and professional discussion before any Government decision is taken on the Group's recommendations.
