§ 5. Mr. John Hallasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government to what extent, following the inquiry into objections to the extinguishment order relating to footpath number 82, Bledlow-cum-Saunderton, a principle governing future applications to close similar footpaths will be based on the inspector's conclusions that, when there is a choice of footpath or bridle way, a footpath can be extinguished on the grounds that it is not needed for public use.
§ Mr. MacCollNo general principle was established by this case. The existence of an alternative way is always relevant in considering whether the path in question is needed for public use.
