§ 34. Mr. G. M. Thomsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland on what date the local inquiry into the Overgate redevelopment in Dundee was completed; when he expects to receive the report; and what fee is payable to the commissioner.
§ Mr. GalbraithThe inquiry ended on 11th February. I understand that the final comments of the parties on the factual part of the report have only just been submitted. My right hon. Friend expects to receive the report within the next few days, when the amount of the fee will be determined.
§ Mr. ThomsonWill the Minister make sure that the commissioner is not paid too highly by going very slowly on this matter? Is he aware that this is a matter 1139 of great importance and urgency for Dundee and, when he gets the report, will he take a quick decision on it?
§ Mr. GalbraithI can give that undertaking.
