HC Deb 13 November 1973 vol 864 c118W
Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will appoint a Royal Commission to examine the working of the Town and Country Planning Acts.

Mr. Rippon

No. Provision was made in legislation in 1968 for a new development plan system and a review of the new system would be premature. Mr. George Dobry, Q.C., is at present carrying out an urgent review of development control.
