HC Deb 05 May 1959 vol 605 c31W
83. Mr. G. R. Howard

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is prepared to reconsider his decision not to send an inspector down to Penzance in view of the petition handed to him by the hon. Member for St. Ives.

Mr. H. Brooke

No. The granting of planning permission to the Newlyn-Penzance Rugby Football Club for the erection of a covered stand for spectators on the Mennaye playing field was entirely within the competence of the Cornwall County Council, whose subcommittee inspected the site before permission was given.
