HC Deb 22 February 1966 vol 725 cc53-4W
67. Mr. Sandys

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is now in a position to state the terms of reference of the inquiry which is to be held into certain aspects of the Whitehall Plan and the name of the person who will preside.

Mr. Crossman

Yes. Sir Robert Matthew has accepted my invitation to conduct this inquiry and report on proposals for the Broad Sanctuary area. The inquiry, which arises out of the Martin and Buchanan reports on Whitehall, will be into proposals for the future use or uses of the area bounded by Parliament Square, Broad Sanctuary, Great George Street and Storey's Gate, having regard to the provisions of the development plan for Greater London and any other relevant considerations. A public notice will be issued shortly giving the time and place of the inquiry which I hope will begin early in May.
