§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he expects to give his decision on the planning application made by the London borough of Brent for the Church End redevelopment scheme.
§ Mr. Skeffington:My right hon. Friend is waiting for the council to submit the compulsory purchase order they have resolved to make for land needed for the first phase of this redevelopment scheme. I understand that they hope to do this by the end of next month. A local inquiry will then be arranged into both the planning application and any objections to the compulsory purchase order. My right hon. Friend will give his decision as soon as possible after the inquiry.
