HC Deb 08 April 1971 vol 815 c310W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will refuse to sanction a 40 foot highway, with 10 feet of pavements, through the Grimscar Valley, in view of the fact that the valley has been previously regarded as an area of natural beauty.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

No such proposal has been put to my right hon. Friend. It would be initially a matter for Huddersfield County Borough Council as local highway and planning authority.
