HC Deb 28 November 1967 vol 755 c47W
Mr. Kershaw

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what criteria he uses when deciding appeals to him under Section 207 of the Highways Act, 1959.

Mr. Skeffington

In deciding an appeal under Section 207 of the Highways Act. 1959, my right hon. Friend is required to make such decision as to him seems equitable. His criterion for decision is therefore what is fair and reasonable in all the circumstances of the case as put to him by the appellant and the street works authority.
