HC Deb 31 January 1972 vol 830 c40W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what safeguards exist to protect the interests of citizens who may be adversely affected when land is taken out of a re-development area.

Mr. Graham Page

I would need to know more about what the hon. Member has in mind before giving a specific answer. If it is the case on which we corresponded last year, the main safeguard there was that the decision affecting his constituents' interests was taken after due deliberation by their locally elected representatives within the powers laid down by Parliament.
