HC Deb 24 March 1959 vol 602 c106W
67. Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he has now come to a decision upon the Broadlyne scheme in Ashington, Northumberland; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Bevins

This scheme, which is part of the town map for Ashington, raises a number of difficult questions and, after the local inquiry, it was necessary to obtain additional information from the local authorities. This information is now being studied and my right hon. Friend hopes to reach a decision soon.
