§ 13. Mr. E. Fletcherasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if, when a planning scheme is awaiting approval by the Minister, he will advise local authorities to refrain from applying for compulsory purchase orders until an inquiry into the planning scheme has been held; and if, in cases where application for a compulsory purchase order has already been made, he will advise the postponement of the compulsory purchase order inquiry until after the holding over of an inquiry into the planning scheme, in order that objectors to the planning scheme are not prejudiced by any compulsory purchase order.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI do not think that it would be practicable to make an invariable rule of this kind, but if the hon. Member cares to let me have particulars of any case where any difficulty has arisen on this account, I will gladly look into it.
