HC Deb 14 June 1972 vol 838 cc317-8W
78. Mr. Orme

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will order an inquiry into the proposed building of the 186 ft. high office block to be constructed overlooking St. James's Park.

Mr. Peyton

The then Ministry of Housing and Local Government was informed of the proposed development before Westminster City Council granted planning permission in April, 1969. It was not then considered appropriate to call in the application for the Minister's decision.
