§ Mr. Graham PageMy right hon. Friend has explained to a deputation that he had not been able to confirm the building preservation notice on the buildings concerned because he was advised they were not of such special architectural or historic interest as to justify statutory listing. As, however, he said in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Lewisham, West (Mr. Selwyn Gummer) on 16th December, he is sure that legislation is needed to enable local authorities to control the demolition of buildings, if such demolition would damage the character of a conservation area; and he hopes there will be an early opportunity to achieve this.—[Vol. 808, c. 333.]
