§ 78. Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in order to make building resources involved available for housing 309W purposes, he will direct the planning authority to refer to him the application for permission for the building of four blocks of offices by the National Westminster Bank, Hambros Bank, Felix Fenston and Trafalgar House in the City of London at a cost of £225 million.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonOutline planning permissions and office development permits have already been given for the redevelopment of the central and northern parts of the site bounded by Old Broad Street, Wormwood Street, Bishopsgate and Threadneedle Street. The City Corporation has not yet received a planning application for the southern part of the site and I understand that a revised planning application is likely to be made for the northern part.
Whilst not accepting the implications in my hon. Friend's question I recognise the public interest in the redevelopment of this area and I am asking the Council to keep me informed of its intentions.
