§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will introduce fresh planning legislation in order to abate the frustrations and delays which now occur.
§ Mr. CrossmanI am anxious to do all I can to eliminate delays, and I am now arranging to make a number of improvements in the system within existing legislation.
A report by the Planning Advisory Group, which I expect to receive soon and 124W to publish, will make an important contribution to discussion of possible improvements in the statutory framework of town and country planning.
