§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the sale of RAF Bruntingthorpe to Chrysler's has now been completed; and if he will now reveal the price paid.
§ Mr. ChannonLegal completion is now imminent at the full market value as agreed by the district valuer. It is not our practice to disclose details of sales by private treaty.
§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether steps have been taken, following the decision of the 27W Parliamentary Commissioner to examine certain matters relating to the public inquiry into Chrysler's proposed use of land at RAF Bruntingthorpe, to suspend his decision in respect of this application and discontinue work for the time being on the project.
§ Mr. ChannonMy right hon. and learned Friend could not suspend his decision in this case. Any decision of this kind by the Secretary of State is final, subject only to appeal in the High Court, and his jurisdiction in the matter ended once the decision was announced.
§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps relating to the previously arranged sale of the site he has taken following the decision recently announced by the Parliamentary Commissioner to examine certain aspects of Chrysler's application to use RAF Bruntingthorpe as a vehicle testing track.
