HC Deb 24 October 1967 vol 751 cc438-9W
61. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government on what date he decided to hold a public inquiry into the proposal by the East Sussex County Council to acquire land at Shaves Wood, Poynings, as a caravan site for gypsies and other itinerants; why no date has yet been fixed for it; and why he has not yet replied to the letter, dated 25th September, from the Chailey Rural District Council expressing anxiety about this delay.

Mr. Skeffington

The fixing of a date for this inquiry has been deferred following a request by the County Council that action be held in abeyance while they consider proposals for an alternative site. An interim reply to the letter of 25th September from Chailey Rural District Council was sent on 12th October.
