HC Deb 18 November 1958 vol 595 cc128-9W
82. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he will request the Cardiff Rural District Council to make available without delay to Mr. J. M. Davidson the record of all applications for development in which Cardiff Rural District councillors have declared an interest.

Mr. H. Brooke

I understand that this information is being made available to Mr. Davidson this week, in response to the request he made on 6th November at the public inquiry into objections to the Glamorgan Development Plan.

83. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what was the date on which he visited Swanbridge, Glamorganshire, in connection with the appeal of Mr. J. M. Davidson; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. H. Brooke

I visited Swanbridge on 24th September. I have nothing to add to the letter conveying my decision which was issued on 5th September and of which am sending the hon. Member a copy.

87 and 88. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs (1) when he will reply to the request of Mr. John M. Davidson, High Trees, Swanbridge, Sully, Glamorgan, for a full inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his successive applications for planning permission for house building there; and if he will make a statement;

(2) if he has considered the request of Mr. J. M. Davidson, High Trees, Swan-bridge, Glamorgan, for full public inquiries into the circumstances surrounding his negotiations and dealings with the Ministries of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and his Department in recent year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. H. Brooke

Mr. Davidson has received replies to all his letters on this subject. I have considered carefully his varied complaints and allegations, and I find no grounds for a public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his dealings with my Department. I have consulted my right hon. Friend the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, who likewise can find no reason for holding a public inquiry so far as his Department is concerned.
