HC Deb 07 March 1935 vol 298 c2111
22. Marquess of HARTINGTON

asked the Minister of Health whether he can give an estimate of the aggregate cost to all the various parties concerned on the recent inquiry held by an inspector of his Department into the town-planning resolution of the London County Council?

Sir H. YOUNG

I am not yet in a position to state the amount of the costs incurred by my Department in this matter which will be recoverable from the London County Council. I have no information about the costs incurred by other parties.

Marquess of HARTINGTON

If I ask the question in a week's time, will the right hon. Gentleman find out what is the cost imposed by the inquiry?

Sir H. YOUNG

Perhaps my Noble Friend will allow mp to communicate with him when I have the information.

Mr. HOLFORD KNIGHT

Are these inspectors specially instructed as to the procedure at these inquiries?

Sir H. YOUNG

The inspectors receive the necessary instructions, but their long experience makes special instructions unnecessary.
