HC Deb 11 May 1965 vol 712 c44W
70. Mr. Mathew

asked the Postmaster-General if he will offer the land at Station Road, Budleigh Salterton, which is surplus to his requirements for the new telephone exchange, back to the executors of the original owners at a fair price.

Mr. Benn

As I told the hon. Member in my letter of 15th March, the local authority, the Devon County Council, and others are interested in acquiring the site. In the circumstances, I think the right thing to do is to put it up to public auction.
