§ Mr. EdwardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received from Usk town council, Usk civic society and Usk action group regarding the application for a sewage treatment plant at the island picnic site near the River Usk; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Nicholas BennettI understand that representations were made by Usk town council and Usk Civic Society in the context of a planning appeal for a sewage treatment plant. The appeal fell to be determined by a140W planning inspector appointed by my right hon. Friend and, following a local inquiry, his decision to allow the appeal was issued on 30 January. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the merits of the development.
