HC Deb 23 July 1968 vol 769 c55W
53. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what standard in planning matters is laid down by the Government to ensure that an objective assessment and conclusion on the amenity of any particular area is reached; and if he will take steps to ensure these standards are applied by an independent body of qualified and detached persons.

Mr. MacDermot

The hon. Member is asking for the impossible. These are essentially matters of subjective judgment.
