HC Deb 15 June 1971 vol 819 c68W
Mr. John D. Grant

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now introduce legislation to enable local planning authorities to bring within control the demolition in conservation areas of buildings which contribute to the character of the area, in accordance with his intentions expressed in a letter to the hon. Member for Islington, East on 25th February 1971.

Mr. Graham Page

I repeat my assurance that an early opportunity will be sought for including the necessary provisions in a Government measure. I am not yet able to be more specific.
