§ 59. Mr. Shinwellasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he has yet considered the report of the inquiry into the town plan for the Easington area and further development in Peterlee.
Dr. HillI have sent the right hon. Gentleman a copy of my decision on the proposals for Easington. I hope that this decision which will go some way to meet the representations on behalf of the surrounding villages, while still paying regard to the importance in the interests of this part of County Durham of building up Peterlee, will be generally accepted as a sensible compromise.
