HC Deb 29 November 1974 vol 882 cc273-4W
Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will set up a public inquiry into the various proposals for the development of Piccadilly Circus.

Mr. Crosland

The Westminster City Council, as local planning authority for the area, has before it a planning application involving partial redevelopment of the Criterion site. I am considering whether the proposal is one which I should call in for my decision. So far as I know there is no other application currently before the city council for major redevelopment in Piccadilly Circus.
