§ 39. Mr. Braineasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will now announce the date of the public inquiry into the proposal to house Walthamstow's overspill population in Billericay and Wickford.
§ Mr. DeedesArrangements have been made for objections to two compulsory purchase orders made by Walthamstow Borough Council on land at Outwood Common, Billericay, to be heard at a public local inquiry in Billericay on the 15th December, 1954. No order relating to land at Wickford has yet been submitted to my right hon. Friend.
§ Mr. BraineWould my hon. Friend bear in mind that my constituents affected by this scheme have been left in great doubt and uncertainty since July, and can he speed up the inquiry?
§ Mr. DeedesThis was the first date on which the inspector could be available, and, as I think my hon. Friend knows, the two orders were separated by some distance in time.
