§ 103. Mr. Teelingasked the Attorney-General why the Lands Tribunal does not keep the newspapers of Sussex informed of the dates of hearings in Sussex and Tunbridge Wells and of the results of decisions taken, in view of the fact that these hearings are open to the public and the Press.
133W
§ The Attorney-GeneralIt is not practicable to keep all newspapers informed and, as the Lands Tribunal holds sittings in many parts of the country, it would not be right to give this information to newspapers in only one area. My noble Friend is investigating the possibility of making information about sittings, available through the regional offices of the Central Office of Information to newspapers in any areas concerned. Decisions of the Tribunal cannot be publicised in this way owing to the expense involved.
