HC Deb 26 March 1970 vol 798 c546W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will seek from the four local authorities concerned, namely the West Sussex County Council and the Brighton, Hove and Worthing Councils, details as to the cost to them to date of the original inquiry into the proposed hard runway at Shoreham Airport, now to be reopened, following the bankruptcy of Beagle Aircraft (1928) Limited.

Mr. Greenwood

No. It is for the local authorities concerned to decide what costs they wish to incur in representing their views at a public inquiry.
