§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why, in the matter of announcing the Minister's decision against Weymouth becoming a cross-Channel hoverport, the Press was made aware of the decision before the Council was informed; and why the decision letter was sent to the parliamentary agents at an address in Broadway when they never had such an address.

§ Mr. PeytonMy Department did not inform the Press of the decision. The decision letter was originally addressed to the agents by mistake at No. 18 Broadway instead of No. 28. A second letter was sent by hand to the correct address as soon as the mistake was brought to the Department's notice.
§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why he reversed the decision of his inspector in relation to the proposal for Weymouth becoming a cross-Channel hoverport.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsMy right hon. Friend was not satisfied that the making of the proposed harbour revision order was desirable in the terms (of Section 14) of the Harbours Act, 1964.
