HC Deb 14 June 1972 vol 838 cc307-8W
55. Mr. Worsley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will introduce legislation to end the exemption of Crown property from bye-law and planning controls.

Mr. Graham Page

New arrangements on planning were brought in by circular 80/71 last October. I am considering the question of Crown exemption in relation to building regulations—other than in inner London—for which my right hon. Friend is responsible. The constructional byelaws which apply in inner London are the responsibility of the Greater London Council.
