HC Deb 19 July 1967 vol 750 cc281-2W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Attorney-General whether he will instruct the Director of Public Prosecutions to con- sider the prosecution of St. James Square Estates Development Company Limited for the demolition of Pitt Place, Epsom, a historic building subject to a preservation order.

The Attorney-General

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer given yesterday by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. As the Surrey County Council is considering whether to take proceedings under Section 62(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1962, I do not propose to invite the Director of Public Prosecutions to consider prosecution.—[Vol. 750, c.211.]
