HC Deb 01 July 1954 vol 529 c1500
13. Mr. J. J. Astor

asked the Minister of Agriculture what objections to the use of the Hessary Tor site for a television station serving the Plymouth area have been lodged by persons claiming legal rights in the common land.

Sir T. Dugdale

So far no objections have been lodged to the application for my consent under Section 194 of the Law of Property Act, 1925. The statutory period for the lodging of objections does not expire until 24th July.

Mr. Astor

If the objection is lodged, would my right hon. Friend consider trying to speed up the lengthy procedure for considering such objection?

Sir T. Dugdale

I will do the best I can, but I am bound by statute.
