HC Deb 09 March 1965 vol 708 c61W
92 and 93. Mrs. Jeger

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) if he will seek powers to prevent the demolition of habitable houses in cases where no detailed planning for the site has been granted;

(2) whether, on sites zoned for office development but where this new building is now prohibited, he will seek powers to prevent the demolition of existing buildings, other than dangerous structures.

Mr. Mellish

There are difficulties in controlling demolition, but my right hon. Friend is considering the whole question.
