§ 106. Mr. Milneasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will introduce legislation to implement the Skeffington Committee's Report.
§ Mr. SkeffingtonThe necessary legislation is already on the Statute Book, in the 1968 Planning Act, which lays down statutory requirements for publicity and public participation in the new development plan system. The Skeffington Committee Report is about translating the statutory requirements into actual practice in the light of local circumstances, and would therefore, be best dealt with not by further legislation but by circular.
