HC Deb 15 July 1970 vol 803 c229W
98. Mr. Michael Hamilton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will take steps to ensure that hon. Members of this House may freely attend planning inquiries in their constituencies without being subject to an oath of lifelong secrecy thereafter.

Mr. Graham Page

There are no powers under which an inspector can require persons attending planning inquiries to take an oath of secrecy.
