§ 71. Mr. EDEasked the Minister of Agriculture if the road proposed to be constructed across Maiden Green, Surrey, when part of that Metropolitan common is exchanged by Merton College, Oxford, for other land, is to be a private or public road; if the proposed road is shown in a town-planning scheme; if the urban district council of the Maidens and Coombe has been consulted in the matter; and where a plan of the whole of the land 2288 involved in these transactions, and showing how each part is proposed to be treated, can be seen?
§ Mr. BEN SMITH (Treasurer of the Household)I have been asked to reply. I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health that the proposed road across Maiden Green is intended to be a public road and is shown in the draft town-planning scheme prepared by the Maidens and Coombe Urban District Council which has recently been deposited in the locality for public inspection, but has not yet been submitted to the Ministry of Health for approval. The map relating to the scheme, and a map showing the land proposed to be added to Maiden Green in lieu of the portion of the green to be taken for the road, can be seen at the offices of the district council.
