§ Mr. WilleyThe Southern Gas Board applied to Poole Borough Council for planning permission and was refused. The Board has appealed to my right hon. Friend against that decision. If the appeal proceeds an inquiry will be held, but the Board have asked for a meeting with the Council to try to settle the issue.
