Abstract
THE Bill introduced in the House of Commons by the Minister of Town and Country Planning is clearly a minor measure in fulfilment of a promise made by Lord Reith in the House of Lords in 1941 when announcing the Government's acceptance of the interim report of the Uthwatt Committee. Under this Town and Country Planning (Interim Development) Bill, planning control is to be extended to all areas in England and Wales not already subject to control ; it will implement the recommendation of the Uthwatt Committee that no building or, development should be permitted which is likely to be prejudicial to the programme of reconstruction that has still to be worked out.
