§ Mr. RendelTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received in relation to the appeal over the Hare Krishna temple in Hertsmere, Hertfordshire; and when he expects to make a decision on it. [18505]
§ Sir Paul BeresfordA number of representations for and against the proposals were heard at least year's public inquiry into the planning appeal. We received the inspector's report in December, and we are considering his conclusions and recommendations very carefully. It is too early to say when the Secretary of State's decision will be issued.
