50. Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about his rejection of his inspector's advice concerning the development of the Whitbread Brewery at Samlesbury; and if he will say what factors caused him to make that decision.

Mr. Graham Page

My right hon. Friend's reasons for the decision are explained in the letter which announced it. I am sending a copy to the hon. Member.
