§ Sir M. Galpernasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the reasons for the delay in announcing a decision on Glasgow Corporation's request to utilise for playing fields 40 acres of land east of Aikenhead Road, zoned as open space.
§ Mr. RossThis request necessitated public inquiries into two separate issues, a development plan amendment and a compulsory purchase order on the one hand and a planning appeal on the other. These inquiries took up four days over a period in July and called for a lengthy report which I received last month. My 79W consideration of this is almost complete and I expect to issue my decision shortly.
