§ 6. Mr. Simmonsasked the Postmaster-General what consultations he had with the Seisdon Rural District Council concerning its building programme before planning his programme for the area covered by the Codsall Telephone Exchange.
Dr. HillBoth the Seisdon Rural District Council and the Wolverhampton Corporation were consulted in 1954 about building development in this area, and our plans take account of the information they gave us.
§ Mr. SimmonsHas the Postmaster-General seen a statement in the Press by the housing director of the Seisdon Council that no consultation has taken place, and is this lack of planning the responsibility of the local authority or of his Department?
Dr. HillI have not seen the statement in question. If the hon. Gentleman will send it to me, I will study it.
