HC Deb 26 March 1923 vol 162 cc42-3
71. Major ATTLEE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has been asked to sanction a scheme regarding Locks Common, Porthcawl, Glamorganshire; whether he has considered that it will be an oppressive cost on the ratepayers; and whether he will withhold his sanction until the opinions of the ratepayers are properly ascertained?

Sir R. SANDERS

Yes, Sir, and after carefully considering all the objections to the scheme, whether made in writing or put forward at the public local inquiry held last November, I have decided to approve it subject to certain modifications which are intended to remove any misapprehension as to the obligations of the local authority under the scheme. I am satisfied that the opinions of all parties were adequately voiced at the above-mentioned inquiry.
