HC Deb 12 January 1976 vol 903 c12W
Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with his powers with regard to the supervision and control of hypermarket developments in urban areas.

Mr. Oakes

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State said on 12th November last in his statement on the recommendations of Mr. George Dobry, QC, in the "Review of the Development Control System", he intends to introduce legislation at the first opportunity to make enforcement action against breach of planning control more rapid and more effective.
