HC Deb 01 April 1987 vol 113 c554W
48. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has any plans to provide assistance to objectors in preparing their case for major local planning inquiries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tracey

No. The Government's response (CM 43) to the Fifth Report from the Environment Committee set out in paragraphs 63 to 65 our reasons for concluding against any form of funding for objectors.
