§ 19. Mr. Stokesasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he will issue instructions so that the person responsible for depositing excavated material consisting of slate and stone on the foreshore at Watergate Bay, Newquay, Cornwall, is to pay the cost of its removal.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Town and Country Planning (Mr. King)The County Council, as the local planning authority, are seeking to arrange for the removal of the excavated materials by the person responsible for depositing them on the foreshore.
§ Mr. StokesWill my hon. Friend say what steps he proposes to take to make sure that the materials are removed? Does he propose to employ someone who really is competent to see that they have been removed or is he going to be content to be fobbed off by someone who says that they have been removed, when they have not been?
§ Mr. KingThat is not a matter in the first instance for my right hon. Friend, but for the local authority. The local authority are in touch with the person responsible and are endeavouring to get him to remove the materials, which, I think, they will succeed in doing.
