HC Deb 01 August 1957 vol 574 c272W
Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when the public inquiry into the Shrewsbury (Ditherington Village)Compulsory Purchase Order was held; when his decision was made known; and what were the causes of the delay.

Mr. H. Brooke

The Public Inquiry into this Compulsory Purchase Order was held on 27th November, 1956. I have not yet issued my decision on it but expect to do so shortly. I greatly regret the delay but the Order has given rise to some complicated issues.
