§ 71. Major ATTLEEasked 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. SANDERSYes, 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 43 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.
