§ Mr. Neubertasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to announce his decision under Section 36 of the Town and Country Planning Act on the application for development of 1–5 Como Street, Romford, for which permission was first sought in 1971; and what have been the reasons for the continuing delays in this case, in particular, since his inspector's site inspection on 11th October 1977.
§ Mr. Guy BarnettI expect a decision to be issued within a week. I regret the delay, but the proposals raised issues requiring careful consideration.
