I wish to raise a point with reference to Sub-section (2, a) in regard to which I think an assurance from the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be of great assistance. Several of my hon. Friends have put down an Amendment on this point which has not been called, and, while it may not be possible to have any such words in the Bill, I think it is of very great importance that it should be made clear authoritatively that, where it is provided that a decision as to the site not being rebuilt upon has to be made by the Commission, the town planning authority should in all cases be one of the parties whose views have to be taken into account by the Commission.
