HC Deb 31 January 1967 vol 740 c60W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many acres of land zoned for residential purposes in the development plans of local planning authorities are subject to standstill orders by reason of the lack of sewerage, water or other facilities.

Mr. MacColl

Information is not available in the form requested. But to judge from surveys recently carried out in certain parts of the country, there are very few cases where development of land allocated for housing in a development plan has to be held up pending the completion of water or sewerage facilities.
