HC Deb 16 July 1979 vol 970 cc380-1W
Mr. Heller

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will reconsider his decision to confirm a compulsory purchase order for Northcote Road, Walton, Liverpool, in view of the feeling of local residents that there should be greater flexibility in this matter, and their wish to retain one row of terraced houses so that they can be modernised and not pulled down.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

No. Once the decision on a compulsory purchase order has been issued the Secretary of State has no further jurisdiction in the matter.
