HC Deb 24 November 1971 vol 826 c1315
6. Mr. Tinn

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he hopes to announce the decision on objections to the Teesside Parkway which was the subject of a public inquiry at Middlesbrough earlier this year.

The Minister for Local Government and Development (Mr. Graham Page)

My right hon. Friend has today approved Teesside County Borough Council's compulsory purchase order for land for the Parkway as recommended by the inspector following the public inquiry.

Mr. Tinn

I genuinely thank the Minister for that reply, particularly because a great deal of advance work is waiting on this decision, for which application will be made to his Department and which I hope will receive similar expedition.
