§ 82 and 86. Commander Purseyasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) whether he will give his consent to the application for the compulsory purchase by the Sidmouth Urban District Council of 200 acres of Mutters-moor, which is partly outside their council boundary, for provision of a golf course for visitors, with a luxury club house; and if he will grant their application for loan sanction for £250,000 for the provision of the course;
(2) what action he is taking to secure the public footpaths and rights of way on Muttersmoor, to the west of Sidmouth, 218W Devon; and whether he will schedule this moor as a permanent open space.
§ Mr. MacCollThe council has already been told that there is little prospect that the Minister could sanction a loan for this purpose at the present time and it was advised to consider carefully whether it should in fact proceed with a C.P.O.
