§ Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Minister of Power in how many cases during the last five years his inspector at a public inquiry has supported the case put forward by the objector; and in how many cases such report has been confirmed by him.
§ Mr. FreesonIt is not possible to say, because at most public inquiries there are a number of objectors with conflicting views and sometimes alternative proposals are under consideration. When an inspector has supported the case of one objector he is likely to have rejected the case of another.
