HC Deb 08 March 1976 vol 907 c9W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when Islington Borough Council sought his Department's approval for a compulsory purchase order on All Saints' Street, London, N.1; and when he expects to approve it.

Mr. Freeson

A compulsory purchase order on Nos. 8–36, All Saints' Street, London, N.1, made under Part III of the Housing Act 1957, was submitted to my Department on 24th October 1975. After taking professional advice my right hon. Friend has concluded that these houses should be included in the statutory list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest. The council will, therefore, need to review their position under Circular 159/74 before further consideration can be given to the compulsory purchase order.
