§ Mr. FreesonA compulsory purchase order for part of this site was confirmed by the Minister of Housing and Local Government in 1957. A further part of the site was, I understand, acquired by Liverpool County Borough Council by agreement and the remaining part was the subject of another compulsory purchase order which was confirmed by the Home Secretary and the Minister of Housing and Local Government in November 1965. The acquisition of this last part of the site is now proceeding. 137W I understand that the city council are reconsidering the use of the site because of the difficulty of developing it for housing at satisfactory cost by reason of traffic noise.
