HC Deb 28 July 1937 vol 326 cc3121-2W
Mr. T. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport whether the services of Sir Leopold Saville as technical assessor at the inquiry into the Selby Bridge by-pass scheme will be limited to his appearance thereat and to the explanation he gave the objectors; and whether he can give an assurance that, in view of the interest of his firm in this matter, he will not be permitted to advise the person appointed to hold the inquiry as to how his report upon the objections should be drafted?

Mr. Burgin

The person appointed to hold the inquiry has assured me that he has not discussed with Sir Leopold the recommendations which he is making to me in his report.
