HC Deb 25 April 1967 vol 745 cc240-1W
43. Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why the proposed new dam at Meldon Okehampton, Devonshire, is being delayed.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend had laid before Parliament an Order authorising this dam but, because of procedural problems over the position of amenity societies wishing to oppose such Orders, he withdrew it. These problems are being studied separately and the Order will be relaid very soon.
