Part of Orders of the Day — Town and Country Planning Bill – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 1 Awst 1947.
I should like to express appreciation, on behalf of myself and some of my colleagues who worked in the Committee upstairs, and on the Recommittal stage, at the fact that the Government have decided that where joint planning boards are formed by regulations those regulations must now be laid on the Table of the House so that they can be prayed against if necessary. This point was resisted with some considerable force upstairs, and again on Recommittal, but in another place better counsel prevailed, and I should like to express my thanks to my right hon. Friend for accepting the arguments which have been adduced.
