HC Deb 25 April 1967 vol 745 c243W
56. Mr. Maurice Macmillan

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, in view of the opposition to the project of all the local institutions, organisations and individuals affected, he will institute an immediate public inquiry into the proposal of the National Coal Board to establish a coal distribution depot at Farnham, Surrey.

Mr. MacColl

I understand that an application for planning permission is to be made in due course. It would be inappropriate for me to order a public inquiry before such an application had been considered by the local planning authority.
