100. Mr. Gooch

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will indicate the result of an inquiry held by an inspector of his Department into proposed coast protection works at Over-strand, Norfolk; and the contribution he will make towards the cost of the scheme.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend has now approved the works. Grant will be considered in the light of the accepted tender.

101. Mr. Gooch

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will increase his proposed contribution of £6,600 towards the cost of coast protection works at Mundesley, Norfolk, in view of the heavy cost to the Erpingham Rural District Council of coast protection schemes on the North Norfolk coast.

Mr. Marples

This grant was made after full consideration, and so far as my right hon. Friend is aware is regarded as fair by the authority concerned.
