HC Deb 30 June 1980 vol 987 c436W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received and from whom regarding the proposed gipsy site in Carlisle and the old Hadrians Camp, respectively; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Monro

I have received eight representations, three referring to Engine Lonning and five to Hadrian's Camp, including one from Stanwix parish council.

A further 173 representations, mainly from private individuals, have been made to the local authorities. Of these, seven have been made to the county council about Engine Lonning, including 2 by British Rail and the City Council. 166 have been made to the city council about Hadrian's Camp, including Cumberland sporting car club, Houghton and district action committee and Stanwix parish council.

As the proposals will be the subject of a joint inquiry it would not be appropriate for my right hon. Friend to make a statement at this time.
