HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 cc235-6W
71. Mr. Clegg

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will introduce legislation to enable him to appoint an independent inspector or tribunal to deal with cases in which there is conflict between the Land Commission and a local authority concerning the development or purchase of land.

Mr. Denis Howell

Where the Land Commission appeal against the decision of a local planning authority, the appeal is considered on its merits in the usual way. I see no need for legislation to change this procedure.
